To reproduce the shock wave of a launcher on take off, the University of Poitier's Martel* testbench is being adapted for the generation of acoustic transient phenomena... "Therefore, we had the idea of creating a testbench for simulating the shock wave, which did not involve the combustion of solid fuel", the researcher recounts
Helicopter rotor testbench[ BERH. The helicopter rotor testbench[ BERH] in operation since 1988 in S1MA. The maximum power available is 550 kW. Two blade rotation directions are feasible
Finally, another campaign is planned for 2014, with the deployment of the MERMOSE measurement chain using ONERA's M1 testbench in Palaiseau, which is a facility capable of reproducing the operating conditions of an engine at cruise... For more information about the M1 testbench see
