A spacecraft cabin ventilation fan suitable for aerodynamic and acoustic ground tests was designed and two copies of the fan assembly were fabricated. Both fans were tested for aerodynamic performance and acoustic levels in the NASA Glenn Research Center Acoustical Testing Laboratory. A new test rig for small axial flow fans was designed to accommodate the instrumentation and back-pressure adjustments. Measurements acquired were from: static pressures for measuring performance, a 72-channel in-duct microphone array, external microphone measurements for acoustics, and inter-stage hot wire measurements of the fan wake. This report documents the aerodynamic measurements as part of a series of reports.
