Froude

Froude has always been the innovator of aircraft engine test equipment producing world-class products for world-class customers. We design and manufacture a range of dynamometers, control and data acquisition systems and test equipment specifically designed for gas turbine engine testing. Applications include R&D, production and post overhaul testing, with products in use by most of the world's leading manufacturers, M.R.O.s and test facilities. Our unique range covers applications from high-powered industrial gas turbines, direct and indirect drive turboshafts, turboprops, and APUs.

Froude's High-Speed range of hydraulic dynamometers are specifically designed for gas turbine testing, and are compact, robust and low maintenance. Designed for turboshaft and turboprop engine applications, each featuring interchangeable engine adaptor frames which allow several engine types to be tested on a single test stand.

Froude's Standard F Type hydraulic dynamometers are designed for high accuracy of control, torque measurement and rapid load changes. Our range includes low speed, high torque variants for turboprop testing and higher speed, lower torque variants for turboshaft testing in uni- and bi-directional configurations.
