Sand & Dust Ingestion Test System

Sand & Dust Ingestion Test System Aviation engines can ingest significant amounts of sand and dust particles from the atmosphere when operating in desert environments, sandy areas, or during dust storms. These particles can severely impact engine performance, durability, and safety. For manned aircraft engines, international standards such as FAA 14 CFR Part 33, EASA CS-E, SAE ARP 5876, and RTCA DO-160 define certification criteria and test methods for sand[…]

Water Ingestion Test System

Aircraft engines ingest a certain amount of water from the atmosphere when operating in rainy or snowy conditions or near surfaces such as seas or oceans. For manned aircraft engines, the FAA 14 CFR Part 33.77, EASA CS-E 780, and ICAO Annex 8 standards include certification criteria and test methods for water ingestion in aviation engines. For unmanned aircraft engines, these or similar standards may be[…]

Damage Tolerance Test Systems

For manned and unmanned aircraft to obtain flight clearance, there are numerous safety criteria set by international authorities, primarily the FAA, EASA, or NATO. These criteria are typically verified by subjecting the relevant system to testing. Particularly in aviation engines, it is expected that the engine assembly successfully passes these tests even under the most demanding operating conditions. The primary Damage Tolerance Test Standards for aircraft[…]
