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. |
