Engine Testing Rig – Performance, Safety & Data Systems

Our full-thrust testing rig replicates in-flight thermal, mechanical, and aerodynamic loads experienced by next-gen combat jet engines. Below is a breakdown of its technical capabilities and safety architecture.

🚀 High-Thrust Capacity

Supports full-scale testing of jet engines up to 150 kN thrust class, including afterburning turbofans.

🚀 Thrust Measurement

Precision load cells integrated into mounting pylons for real-time axial thrust data acquisition with <1% error margin.

🚀 Vibration & Modal Monitoring

Accelerometers and proximity probes distributed across engine mounts, casing, and rotors to monitor imbalance and resonance.

🚀 Fuel Flow & Pressure Tracking

High-accuracy mass flow meters and pressure transducers across fuel delivery paths to ensure steady combustion under all loads.

🚀 Thermal Profiling

Thermocouples and infrared sensors measure turbine inlet, combustor, and exhaust gas temperatures across radial and axial zones.

🚀 Afterburner Monitoring

Dedicated flame sensors, oxygen sensors, and photodiodes ensure stable ignition, propagation, and exit conditions.

🚀 Noise Suppression & Containment

Aeroacoustic shrouds, deflector baffles, and reinforced barriers minimize noise emission and mitigate engine burst risk.

🚀 Data Logging & Telemetry

Real-time telemetry with fiber-optic networks and redundant storage nodes. Supports sampling up to 50 kHz per channel.

🚀 Emergency Shutdown Systems

Integrated quick-stop hydraulic dampers, fire suppression, fuel dump valves, and blast-resistant enclosures.

🚀 Remote Operation & Safety Interlocks

All tests controlled from isolated control room with E-stop triggers, biometric access, and interlock override systems.
