Helicopter propulsion system evaluation testing is conducted on individual components in the early stages of development. The total propulsion system is not operationally tested until the components are installed in the first aircraft. As such, dynamic interface problems are not detected until this stage of the full scale development program which can prove costly. To achieve more development/reliability testing and more meaningful qualification tests of the total system, the Naval Air Propulsion Center, under Naval Air Systems Command sponsorship, developed the only indoor facility in the United States capable of testing a 'rotorless' helicopter propulsion system. This paper describes the test facility and presents the rationale and capability of an integrated, dynamic test stand for total system testing. (Wassmann)
