TPS test- 9 inches testrig... Testrigs checking using reference nozzles... The uncertainties in the 4" testrig with the Ø 100 mm reference nozzle are (from test campaigns between 1987 and 2009
A reduced-scale combustion chamber model is used for the precise reproduction on a testrig of the ignition performances of a complete configuration. A partial model of the Ardiden 1 combustion chamber has been evaluated in altitude conditions on the Mercato testrig (Onera Fauga Mauzac) ... Sector of combustion chamber simulated by the reduced-scale model of the Mercato testrig and viewing of the fuel fog before ignition
