Current and planned test facilities are designed to test an engine over a range of flight speeds and altitudes. However, no existing or approved facility can simulate the maneuver environment an engine actually experiences in flight. It has become apparent in recent years that maneuver-induced forces are contributing to major problems in engine durability and operational efficiency. Engine development trends toward closer tolerances, lighter cases, etc., will cause the problems to become even more severe in the future. The Facility Planning Division at Arnold Engineering Development Center, Tennessee, has studied the requirements for a facility capable of simulating aircraft maneuvers for the last five years and, with the assistance of experts from the engine community, has evolved a facility concept known as the Turbine Engine Loads Simulator (TELS). A description of the proposed facility and its potential benefits to the engine development process are presented. (Peters)
