EDePro, Engine Development & Production

Testing and Calibration

Trusted performance and reliability

Engines

The production of advanced aircraft solutions and equipment is just one step of the way in which we support our worldwide customer’s missions. Accurate testing and calibration for ensuring a consistent product quality is a prerequisite of success for organisations ranging from defence contractors to government agencies. As an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) regarding gas turbine engines, our expert team is focused on testing and verifying the performance, as well as the safety of produced solutions.

Our own laboratory, designed for testing and calibrating gas turbines, is equipped to perform numerous procedures, such as standard production and sea-level acceptance tests. We also test thrust, power and efficiency, operating lines and stall margins, auxiliary power extraction, fuel flow, specific fuel consumption, engine airflow, bleed airflow, vibration levels, pressures and temperatures, humidity, rotor speeds and the engine pressure ratio.

With the support of our highly-trained team, from production to testing and maintenance, our customers can reduce all risks, lower costs and ensure unmatched performance, together with overall success.

 

On-Board Electronics

EDePro performs comprehensive calibration and testing for missile on-board subsystems: inertial navigation system (INS), video homing heads (VHH), the mission computer (MC) with autopilot and guidance, aerodynamic actuators and controllers (AAC). Our electronics manufacturing and testing services follow IPC standards and customer requirements. Meanwhile, inspection points are outlined in the company’s process flow and they are implemented by both automated and manual means. Rigorous inspection ensures the correct components of the assembly, their correct placement, as well as the orientation, security and tightness of hardware parts, as per the customers’ specific requirements.

Our GNC laboratory is equipped with two-axis and three-axis rotary tables for calibration and hardware-in-the-loop (HWIL) simulations, which enable signal analysis, onboard simulations, and automated test equipment procedures (ATE).

In addition, our mission-critical business model leaves nothing to chance. We have no tolerance for inconsistency or imperfection because we consider your mission’s success to be our job.

 

Rocket Motors

Among many testing procedures used in the modern evaluation of solid rocket motors, EDePro perfected the most effective one – the captive firing of a complete rocket motor. The captive-firing testing includes a static-fired solid-propellant rocket motor for design verification and performance measurement. The entire testing process takes place on our custom-made test stand. Moreover, our rocket motor testing facility provides different types of testing and verification, based on integrated testing and calibration equipment.

Concerning thrust force, we can measure up to 50,000 daN of net thrust on a small-scale test stand, and up to 100,000 daN on a large-scale test stand. During testing, we also measure parameters such as rocket motor thrust force, pressure, local temperature and vibration in real time, and EV testing capability with complete MIL standard temperature range. Furthermore, we test rocket motors for different types of propellant samples, carry out hydrotests and optimise solid-propellant rocket motor ignition systems. In addition, we frequently test production processes within small-scale BATES rocket motors, for the energy verification of solid-propellant samples.

UAVs

As a developer and manufacturer of modern UAV systems, EDePro adheres to the highest aviation specifications in terms of product performance, accuracy and reliability. State-of-the-art calibration and measurement tools guarantee that each unit will not only meet, but also surpass the industry standards.

EDePro performs rigorous tests, specifically designed for UAVs. They aim for methodical isolation, risk reduction, and minimising flight failures, which ensures the delivery of a reliable aircraft.

System testing of electric and piston motors with a propeller includes ground tests, along with the calibration of flight instruments with an autopilot. The ground tests on all developed systems and subsystems are followed by tests on demo aircraft and on the test bench.

The electric motors for quadcopter mode are tested on a static test bench, while the demo aircraft are tested on a dynamic test bench, where their moment around the Y/Z-axis at hovering is checked. The final test is run on an actual aircraft.
