Lancaster GTB systems Ltd has unparalleled experience in providing application-specific thermal acoustic infill systems and materials for aircraft engine test cells and hush houses on a worldwide basis.

The company portfolio is extensive in addressing the requirements of all types of military and civil aero test scenarios, ranging from vectored thrust with afterburner to the largest high by-pass "superfans" currently in service with the world's airlines.

In no other area of gas turbine applications is the selection of materials and configuration of the acoustic treatment more important than in the aircraft engine test environment. To this end, it is Company policy to work closely with engine manufacturers, clients and end-users in order to optimise acoustic performance, extend service life and meet financial targets. The benefits of this culture are equally applicable to a new-build and refurbishment projects. In many cases of refurbishment, the application-specific approach can upgrade the acoustic performance of older test facilities to an extent previously not considered to be feasible.

Lancaster GTB Systems Ltd is an approved supplier of acoustic materials and systems in respect of government and defence agency contracts. Specific references include NATO, USAF, MOD (UK), etc.

The Company regularly achieves milestones in aero-engine test applications:-

  • 1st application-specific retrofit infill system for military aviation powerplant test facilities.
     
  • 1st application specific exhaust infill system for military aviation powerplant test facilities requiring vectored thrust capability.
     
  • 1st application-specific new-build infill system for civil aviation 'superfan' test facilities, incorporating enhanced low frequency attenuation qualities.

  • 1st application-specific exhaust infill to gain USAF approval for refurbishment of type T9 test cells and Type T10 hush houses.
