| Aero-engine
testing is performed for the design and
development of new engine types, for endurance
testing of prototypes and for pass-off testing of
new production or overhauled units Compared to testing on the
wing or in-flight, the testing engines in a
dedicated cell has a number of advantages :-
  |
The
noise nuisance can be limited by suitable
acoustic treatment. |
|
The
correct aerodynamic conditions can be
maintained and measured accurately. |
|
Suitable
working conditions for the test staff can
be maintained 24 hours per day. |
|
The
high-accuracy measurement systems can be
maintained in an indoor environment. |
|
|
Test
cells range in size from small cabins designed to
measure the driveshaft output of auxiliary power
units to giant facilities designed to measure the
thrust of the largest civil jets. Exign Technology has
extensive knowledge of the key factors in
aero-engine test cell design and applies this
experience to both new-build and upgrade
projects.
