Aerospace Dynamometer Test Cell Requirements

In this podcast episode, Mike Golda and Matt Janisse discuss the requirements of aerospace test cells, focusing on rotating aerospace test equipment or dynamometers versus thrust. Matt, the Technical Sales Manager at Froude, shares his background and experience in the dynamometer industry as it relates to the aerospace test market. 

They delve into the users of aerospace dynamometers, primarily OEMs, MROs, and government research centers. Matt emphasizes the importance of understanding the customer's needs and tailoring solutions for their specific applications, especially in the aerospace industry, where unique tests and requirements, such as altitude testing and attitude testing for helicopters, come into play. 

Matt shares insights into various tests used in aerospace testing, such as load prop tests for turboprop engines, altitude testing, and attitude testing for helicopters as well as auxiliary power units (APUs). 

 The episode ends with an insightful look into the future trends in aerospace testing.
