Propulsion Testing Services

The 9-by-9-foot Propulsion Wind Tunnel is a non-return, induction-type facility that is set up primarily for inlet and aerodynamic testing, but it is easily adapted to other uses. It has extensive photographic and video equipment for monitoring and recording model configuration, flow visualization, test operations and safety.

The Fuel Properties Laboratory offers fuel properties analysis to determine the net heat of combustion, thermal oxidation stability, vapor pressure, viscosity, density, lubricity, water content, dissolved gas content and cold flow characteristics.
