JET Engine Test Strategy-program overview and objectives

Abstract

JET Engine Test Strategy (JETS) is an innovative program for improving existing Air Force jet engine test cells. This paper describes the key elements of the JETS and discusses the phased approach for its implementation and realization of the benefits. The proposed system components for implementation of JETS benefits are contained in the Automated Jet Engine Test System (AJETS), which includes the instrumentation system, throttle control, engine-specific test programs, and a network. Charts and photos am used to illustrate current and projected features and benefits of JETS.
