METHOD OF TESTING GAS TURBINE ENGINES WITH DUE ACCOUNT OF SEASON WHEN TESTS ARE CARRIED OUT Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: gas turbine engines. SUBSTANCE: proposed method includes stated in engine technical task engine operating time at stationary maximum thrust conditions and transient conditions with attaining said maximum thrust conditions at specific temperature of ambient air during period of testing. At final period of testing engine is brought to maximum thrust conditions, air temperature at engine input is raised to value t_in, exceeding outside temperature by 50-180^o C, additional running and additional attaining maximum thrust conditions at temperature t_in, are carried out whose number is calculated basing on relationships protected by invention. EFFECT: provision of reliable results of testing at minimum time and material. provision of reliable results of testing at minimum time and material consumption.
