New Icing Tunnel Used To Test 1,000 - 25,000 Lb Thrust
Engines
Business-jet engine manufacturers requiring a facility to carry
out engine certification tests are taking notice of the facilities
available at the National Research Council of Canada's Institute
for Aerospace Research (NRC). Recent upgrades to the NRC propulsion
facilities enable it to test new engine classes, particularly
business jet engines, and deliver high-quality, real-time data
right to a client's home base. NRC's northern site in Ottawa,
Canada, moreover, provides an abundance of cold air, resulting in
exceptionally cost-effective engine icing certification
programs.
