Honeywell has been using its Boeing 757 testbed to evaluate a Saber low-emissions combustor in an HTF7000 for the Bombardier Challenger 300. Certification trials included inflight starting, inclement weather tests with water ingestion, lean blow-out and snap accelerations and decelerations. This Aviation Week editor observed the latest test flight, which aimed to demonstrate a steady-state performance “health check” and an inflight shutdown and restart.
Engine manufacturers are set to make unprecedented use of flying testbeds despite the increased availability of ground-based simulation, modeling and testing capabilities.
Honeywell is starting full-engine tests of the first HTF7500E for Embraer’s Legacy midsize and midlight jets and parallel tests of the low-emissions Saber combustor technology with which it will enter service.
