RALEIGH, N.C., Jan. 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Blue Force Technologies ("BFT") and the Air Force Research Laboratory ("AFRL") have successfully completed a ground test for a novel carbon fiber composite propulsion flowpath system for BFT's Fury uncrewed fighter under the AFRL Bandit program.
This ground test provided high-fidelity data that will be used in validation of computational methods over the coming months.
It was crucial to us to demonstrate, prior to building flight test aircraft, that we could correctly predict the interaction between the propulsion flowpath components and the Williams International engine," said Scott Bledsoe, President of Blue Force Technologies.
After making the engine selection in June 2022, the AFRL and Blue Force Technologies team worked to finalize test objectives and procedures concurrently with Blue Force's hardware build to ensure this full-scale test came together in under six months," said Alyson Turri, AFRL Bandit Program Manager.
