Rolls-Royce invests in new test facilities at Purdue for high-altitude and hybrid-electric aircraft engines
Rolls-Royce has launched a new major investment project with Purdue University to develop new test facilities for high-altitude and hybrid-electric engines to power the next generation of US military aircraft.
Gas turbine engine test cells must offer flexible operation to qualify engines for customer use. However, true high-altitude test cells are rare across the US. The new Rolls-Royce high-altitude test cell at West Lafayette will expand the company’s testing capability for a large number of current and future engines, including the AE 1107C engines for the V-22 Osprey, the AE 2100 engines for the C-130J Super Hercules aircraft, and the engines for the Bell V-280 Valor aircraft competing in the U.S. Army’s Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft program.
