The engineering and design of complex Rocket Engine Test Facilities is also a unique capability of EDF. Rocket engine testing involves hazardous cryogenic propellants such as liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen, usually at very high pressures, which requires specialized knowledge by the engineering firm.
Also, most upper stage rocket engines must be tested at altitude conditions; which requires a complex altitude enclosure and a steam evacuation system. The cooling of the exhaust diffuser is a major challenge due to the high rocket engine exhaust temperatures. EDF can provide full Engineering, Project and Construction Management services for Rocket Engine Test Systems and Facilities.
In addition to serving Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne, other customers include Pratt & Whitney Canada, Sikorsky Aircraft, Boeing, NAVAIR, Titan L-3 Communications, NASA Stennis, NAS Jacksonville, International Support Systems, Wyle Laboratories, Stearns-Roger, Hamilton Sundstrand, Hilton Systems, NASA Huntsville , Atomic Energy Commission, Transystems, Johnston Test Cell Group, SNC-Lavalin – Air
France, Cenco and others.
