Thrust Measurement Testcells are systems used to measure the thrust of turbojet and turbofan engines. Since the primary purpose of these engines is to generate thrust, thrust measurement testcells are typically used as the test systems where the initial tests of the engine are conducted. Through these systems, critical data such as thrust values, specific fuel consumption, vibration, temperature, and pressure are obtained. This data provides design teams with essential information about the engine’s performance and design.

Thrust measurement testcells are not limited to thrust measurement alone; they also enable the execution of various tests such as engine endurance tests, water ingestion tests, and sand ingestion tests. These testcells can be installed in open environments or, with minor modifications, integrated into the test chambers of Altitude Test Systems.

The design of thrust measurement textcell takes into account numerous parameters, including the engine’s starting methods (Pyrotechnic, Windmilling, Electric Motor, APU etc.), the mechanical, electronic, and software compatibility of engine accessories, the types of tests to be performed on the testcell, the location where the testcell will be installed, and bellmouth characteristics.

E2T provides comprehensive support to our customers from the requirement definition phase to the commissioning phase for high-precision, calibration-interfaced, advanced data acquisition, control, and safety systems-equipped thrust measurement testcells.
