Improvement of turbine engine and gearbox test system in an aviation establishment using plc

In aviation, the precision, accuracy and speed of the test system is very important. In this study, an existing test system in an aviation establishment is analysed for its suitability to test T700 series turbine engines. The analysis shows that the system can be modified by adding new sensors, PLC and mechanical equipments. Further more The contribution of the improvement test system is evaluated to the plant with benefit - cost analysis. It can be concluded that the recomended modifications are applied, the analysed test system is expected to have have the capability to test T700 engines. Turbine engine test, PLC, sensor, modification
