The Arnold Engineering Development Center (AEDC) is installing a freejet test capability into the Aero-propulsion Systems Test Facility (ASTF). The freejet will provide the capability for ground determination of turbine engine and aircraft inlet compatibility by utilizing full-scale inlets and engines as test articles in a simulated flight environment. The details of the design, installation, and projected testing capability are described for a 57 ft2 supersonic nozzle and a 77 ft2 subsonic nozzle. Support systems for mechanically pitching and yawing the freejet nozzles are also reported as well as the test cell hardware for capturing the freejet nozzle flow. The plans for demonstrating the freejet capability prior to its initial operational date are explained. The technology development efforts to validate and utilize the freejet test capabilities are also described.
