The Turbojet Engine Test Centre is a specially designed and modern facility, dedicated exclusively to the activity of testing engines in its double aspect of cooperating with companies for developing commercial engines, and participating in the R+D Framework programme of the European Union for studying and developing new generation engines (higher power/efficiency ratios, and less contamination including acoustic contamination).


 The Centre has carried out a study on the on the engine equipping the European fighter aircraft EF2000, and has tested engines of the biggest manufacturers such as General Electric (families CF34, CF6, CFM56) and Rolls Royce (families Trent 700, 800, 900, 1000 and XWB).
 Nowadays the Centre is working with the industry in both Testing Operations and Research and Development activities within National and International programs.
