Innovative ideas
Creating tools to improve efficiency and reliability.
Safran Aero Boosters is investing every year around 20% of its revenue to improve its products.
Here are some project we are working on :
"At sea level" test cell
A revolutionary concept by Safran Aero Boosters
For engine tests requiring special environmental conditions, such as ice or hail ingestion tests, cold weather testing, or cross-wind testing, engine manufacturers need to use complex and costly test infrastructure – and do not always have access to it because the facility is already in use for other engine programs, or because the required meteorological conditions are not present. We propose a revolutionary concept where engine manufacturers go find the right weather wherever it is ! This results in a much higher use of their assets, while limiting the investment.
Having the ability to perform tests on a floating barge brings several benefits :
- acoustics
- No pollution to and from the nearby environment
- No noise reverberation – excellent open-air conditions
- Look for suitable meteorological conditions
- Wind direction
- Temperature
- Icing
- Endurance & Certification testing
- Choice of test location
- Open ocean (seek meteorological conditions)
- Shore (proximity with engineers and other resources for on and off site)
