AEDC team supports testing of GE engine augmentor rig in J85 facility

Prior to a static performance test at the University of Tennessee Space Institute (UTSI) Propulsion Research Facility, Brad Besheres, an outside machinist in the ATA Technology Branch’s instrumentation and diagnostics group, is inspecting AEDC’s upgraded J85 Augmentor rig coupled to GE’s developmental augmentor assembly, all of which is mounted on the facility’s T-6 thrust frame. The test has two phases, with the first to characterize and evaluate the augmentor’s durability and mission performance. The second phase focuses on instrumentation and diagnostics project activities. These focus on various measurement techniques (optical tail pipe camera stereoscopic imaging and gas sampling techniques) that can be applied to gas turbine engines. (Photo by Rick Goodfriend)

AEDC team tests F135 initial production engine

From left, Greg Crabtree, ATA outside machinist, and Jeff Dodd, ATA project manager on the test, stand in front of an F135 engine undergoing validation and altitude development testing in AEDC’s altitude test cell C-1. The F135 engine is a Conventional Take Off and Landing and Carrier Variant (CTOL/CV) that has been designated for low rate initial production to the U.S. government for the F-35 Lightning II program. The engine has been modified and improved based on findings from the F-35 flight and ground test program. (Photo by Rick Goodfriend)

AEDC team tests Minuteman rocket motor in J-6

A Minuteman III Stage 3 motor undergoes simulated altitude testing in AEDC’s J-6 Large Rocket Test Facility. It was the second of two Production Quality Assurance (PQA) Minuteman rocket motors scheduled for testing in fiscal year 2011. These tests support Hill AFB and the Minuteman Solid Rocket Motor Warm Line (SRMWL) program. The SRMWL program is intended to sustain and maintain the unique manufacturing and engineering infrastructure necessary to preserve the Minuteman III solid rocket motor production capability. The customer will compare the motors performance parameters to the results of previous Production Quality Assurance (PQA) static tests and verify that the motors meet the requirements in the Prime Item Fabrication Specification (PIFS).
