Abstract:

A review is made of test cell design options in order to identify characteristics of jet engine test facilities to be constructed in the 1970s and designed to be operable for a minimum of twenty years. The necessity of providing replacements for many current facilities is documented, and the factors which will ensure future production capability and economic feasibility are detailed. Present turbine engines are reviewed and projections of future engines and aircraft are made. A confidential supplement is available for qualified recipients. Author
