Abstract
A method for testing a turbojet engine for an aircraft in a U-shaped or open-air test bench includes: (a) visual inspection of the test bench and of the turbojet engine; and (b) testing of the turbojet engine in the test bench. During the test, the turbojet engine bears test equipment with sensors, other sensors being housed in the test bench. The test bench includes an augmented-reality system performing the step of (a) visual inspection in the test bench in order to detect a possible major anomaly in the test bench. The step of (a) visual inspection is intended to check the conformity of the test conditions, and especially those of the test equipment or that of the test bench as a whole. The method performs the step of (b) testing only in the absence of an anomaly.
Claims20
A method for testing a turbine engine in a test bench, the method comprising:
- (a) visual inspection;
- and
- (b) testing of the turbine engine in the test bench;
- wherein the test bench comprises:
- an augmented-reality system performing the step of (a) visual inspection in the test bench in order to detect any possible anomaly of a first type;
- the method only performing the step of (b) testing in the absence of an anomaly of the first type identified by the augmented-reality system.
A method for testing a turbine engine in a test bench, the method comprising the following steps:
- (a) visual inspection;
- and
- (b) testing of the turbine engine in the test bench;
- wherein the test bench comprises:
- an augmented-reality system performing the step of (a) visual inspection in the test bench in order to detect any possible anomaly of a first type, and any possible anomaly of a second type;
- the method performing the step of (b) testing in the absence of an anomaly of the first type, and in the presence of an anomaly of the second type identified by the augmented-reality system.
A test bench for a turbine engine, comprising:
- an augmented-reality system configured to carry out an internal visual inspection in the test bench in order to detect at least one anomaly of a first type, the test bench comprising:
- a computer program being configured to perform a test of the turbine engine in the absence of an anomaly of the first type identified by the augmented-reality system, and being configured to prevent from performing the test of the turbine engine if an anomaly of the first type is detected by the augmented-reality system.
