| Project Detail |
Under the Test Operations and Sustainment contract, work NAS will perform Operation of 28 wind tunnels Rocket and turbine engine test cells Ballistic ranges Space chambers Specialized testing units Technology development Equipment and facility sustainment Capital improvements to the sites Other services for the Complex Sea level test cells The Sea-Level Test Cells at AEDC provide the capability to conduct durability testing on large turbine engines at near sea-level conditions (1,000 ft altitude) and are used to develop and evaluate systems for advanced aircraft such as the F-15 Eagle, F-16 Fighting Falcon, and the F119 engine for the F-22A Raptor. These test cells provide essential test and evaluation services in support of DoD, U.S. industry, and international programs. The Complex has played a role in testing nearly all of the United States’ top priority aerospace programs, from fighter jets and missiles to Apollo rockets and weather satellites. |
