Unlock Maximum Efficiency and Safety: Elevate Aircraft Performance with Advanced Exhaust Nozzle and Thrust Reverser Testing

Calspan’s Aerotest Laboratory has been supporting engine, nacelle and aerostructures OEMs since the dawn of the jet age with aerodynamic test services to support exhaust nozzles system and thrust reverser development efforts using hot flow static thrust stands and wind tunnels.  Five static thrust stands are available.  Flow visualization and acoustic measurements are often part of a scale model test campaign.
