Complete Tailored Jet Engine Abrasion Testing Systems

Air Dynamics has led the way for military, aerospace, and jet engine testing by developing the only technology capable of providing repeatable conditions. This ensures components meet MIL-STD-810H, DO-160G, MIL-STD-202G, and NATO standards.  

Our Desert Wind systems can create and control wind velocity and abrasive sand and dust conditions that mimic real-world scenarios. The data and feedback supplied by our jet propulsion testing systems allow manufacturers to make informed design decisions that promote longevity in the field. 

Our Jet Propulsion Testing System Capabilities

The jet engine abrasion testing systems engineered by Air Dynamics recreate field tests that would take years. They provide critical information about engine performance and its ability to meet users' long-term needs.

The engineers and project managers at Air Dynamics can custom-tailor a jet propulsion system to test parameters, including engine durability and functionality, under specific conditions. This is crucial for successful operations in harsh environments, which military aircraft often encounter. 

Abrasion testing evaluates engine performance and component wear in anticipated operating conditions. It is useful for identifying vulnerabilities in turbine blades, cooling systems, and compressors. Our equipment can provide customized test settings for temperatures, moisture content, and varying particulate concentrations.

Test System Features

Jet propulsion test systems from Air Dynamics are custom-tailored to your specifications. Each system features:

  • Controlled media delivery
  • Data recording
  • Fully automated system controls
  • Maintenance alarms
  • Remote operation

Capable of continuous operation, our systems can replicate engine velocity from idle to full thrust. They also provide features such as alarms and silica dust removal to improve operator safety.

Testimonials Although they laughed, that didn’t faze us – we did our research and we had confidence in Air Dynamics’ application engineer we worked with.

"We’re a resource recovery company. We selected two PLĒCO 30 HP portable vacuum systems configured for bulk pickup. Our customer just laughed at us when the Air Dynamics PLĒCO vacuums showed up. They actually said, ‘they‘d never work!’ Although they laughed, that didn’t faze us – we did our research and we had confidence in Air Dynamics’ application engineer we worked with. The plant had a $100,000 central vacuum system; they even tried a “super sucker” with no decent results. The company gave up trying to recover the powdered tungsten themselves. We had their plant cleaned up in record time, even though the powdered tungsten weighed 1,150 pounds per cubic foot!"

Testimonials

"We love the vacuum and use it just about every day in our normal everyday routine. It has been a major help with maintaining clean floors and machines. We have also used it to unplug clogged pneumatic conveying lines where compressed air did not effectively work. In the past, we used brooms and compressed air to clean which caused the dust to float in the air, moving from surface to surface. The PLECO vacuum eliminates floating dust and its suction is powerful enough to get the fine dust out of the cracks and off the floor quickly. I like that it’s portable to move it where you need it."

Testimonials

"Daniel Lehman was so much more knowledgeable than the competition- probably more knowledgeable than anyone in the country, about industrial vacuums."

Testimonials We recommend Air Dynamics!

"Working with Air Dynamics was an incredibly enjoyable experience for our engineering firm. They brought expertise to the table that we did not necessarily have in-house, and they conveyed it in a way that was easy for us, our shareholders, and our executives to understand. We would recommend Air Dynamics for anyone looking for a pneumatic or material handling conveying solutions."

- L. Samuelson, Engineer, power company
Testimonials

"The Desert Wind is the best technology we have found for testing and calibration laboratories. We use it within the aerospace and military sectors to assist the creation of parts development and provide part of the certification needed."

- Stephane Carpentier, Dir. Innovation & Development, CTA
Testimonials

"We purchased the PLĒCO 8.5 HP vacuum for our powdered colors business. We chose this substantially built vacuum over a European import that didn’t offer what this American made system did. We purchased a second unit because the first system performed excellent even after filling the canister again and again without affecting the pressure drop across the filters at all.
