PROCESS TESTING GAS-TURBINE ENGINE Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: bed finalizing of new specimens of aircraft engines with thrust reversal. SUBSTANCE: for realization of process force-measuring gear of test bed is loaded before start of engine with axial force that is greater than force of thrust reversal of engine. Axial forces acting on force-measuring gear of test bed are measured while engine runs under conditions of forward and reverse thrusts. Forces of forward and reverse thrusts of engine are determined from expressions which are given in the specification. EFFECT: accelerated finalizing of aircraft engine and reduced usage of materials and energy. 1 dwg
