Turbo Shaft Engine Dynamometer Technology Development

Abstract

Develop, integrate, and evolve dynamometer technologies and capabilities for insertion into testing of turbo shaft engines. Current V35 dynamometer used to test T700 engines at the intermediate maintenance level has obsolescence issues and worn components that have been overhauled three times since initial fielding in the 1980s. The OEM has stated that it does not recommend a fourth overhaul due to structural issues. Insertion of new dynamometer technologies is required to test next generation T700 engines with increased torque and horsepower and to retire legacy units which have tired metal due to cycle fatigue.
