We Offer Both Engineering and ManufacturingEngineering Design and DevelopmentWe operate a full-service engineering facility with expertise in gas turbine design, high-speed rotordynamics, burner design, compressor design and the design of complete turbopumps systems.
We have designed and developed two twin-spool turboprop engines for the Army and have developed two hypersonic ramjet turbopumps for DARPA (as a subcontractor to Boeing) and directly for the Navy Naval Air Warfare Center. Other successful projects include a 118 lb. thrust pulsejet engine for the Army AMRDEC that featured electronic fuel injection timed to the combustion cycle, a thrust reverser for a small expendable turbojet engine, a thrust augmentation system for an expendable turbojet that featured an afterburner and water-methanol injection system that demonstrated a 155 percent augmentation ratio. We have developed complete gas turbine test systems for two universities. One system featured high-speed servo control of fuel, compressor bleed and turbine exit area. Other successful projects include the design, test and FAA certification of an aircraft start-current limiter system and an aircraft APU silencer system. We have complete familiarity with System qualification and certification including 150-hour type tests for gas turbines.
ManufacturingOUr modern manufacturing facility features latest HAAS CNC turning centers and milling centers. IN our sheet metal shop we can compound form stainless steel and inconel and have developed a hot titanium forming process that complys with Gulfstream and Boeing specifications. We support our manufacturing customers with design assistance and subassembly of critical airframe elements. Our ISO9001:2000 Quality assurance compliance assures customers that we will deliver the product they order with full tracability of material, components and in-house processing.
TestingWe can test your engine or pump system with full tracability of standards and processes. We can also assist in the design of test systems. |
