Turbine Truck Engines Inc (TTE) has announced that Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University has granted TTE complete access to the Gas Turbine Research Laboratory (CTRL) test facilities at the university.
The GTRL in the Aerospace Engineering Department of Embry-Riddle University has opened its doors to TTE and has offered to help by providing turbine test equipment, duration test facilities, and personnel to help commercialize a 540-hp version of the Detonation Cycle Gas Turbine Engine (DCGT) for driveshaft applications.
These tests will provide TTE with data necessary for the engineered prototype for a production engine.
