Portable Static Test Facility for Small, Expendable, Turbojet Engines. Phase 1

Abstract

Test Devices, Inc. has completed the preliminary design for the Portable Static Test Facility (PSTF) for small, expendable, turbojet engines (50 - 1000 lb thrust) as part of the Phase I effort under SBIR contract DAAH01-94-C- RO32. The goal of providing a preliminary design for a development and test facility at a reasonable cost, assembled from standard, transportable modules and requiring minimum setup was achieved. During the Phase I activities a detailed analysis was performed that covered the description of engines to be tested, engine test procedures, general test specifications, test facility requirements and design considerations, installation, and engine control and test data requirements. From this a preliminary design for the portable test facility was prepared, plus a conceptual installation design and a preliminary design for the engine control and data system.
