We test turboprop and turbojet engines for most of the major engine manufacturers. We acquired 4 Microturbo TRS-18's in the 1980's for a research project that was cancelled. I believe that they are the 220 lbf thrust versions. The have an integral electric starter/generator. We are planning to use the engines to shake-down a new altitude test facility. I have 4 brand- new engines (from 1981) in boxes with absolutely no documentation. I am looking for documentation on engine control, specifically ECU hookup, fuel pump specifics, and starter-generator wiring. Being a Government/Military testing agency I can probably get the info through official channels but I would like to get these things going this summer so I thought I would try this group first. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here are the particulars of the engines: Engine: 046.01.01 Dist Block 046.23 ECU 046.32.01 Fuel Pump 046.05 Thanks in advance for your time, Brian Brian Barry Controls and Instrumentation Team Leader Gas Turbine Propulsion Laboratory Institute for Aerospace Research National Research Council Canada Building M-7, 1200 Montreal Road, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada K1A-0R6 brian.barry@nrc-cnrc.gc.ca Tel: (613) 991-0847 Cell: (613) 294-7480 Fax: (613) 957-3281 Back to top Guest Posted: Fri Apr 27, 2007 4:01 am    Post subject: Re: Microturbo TRS-18 Engine Control Documentation Needed brian.barry (AT) nrc (DOT) ca wrote: Quote: Being a Government/Military testing agency I can probably get the info through official channels but I would like to get these things going this summer so I thought I would try this group first. You could try calling Microturbo/SAFRAN and telling them you're building a kitplane or something. Having worked with the (US) government before I am aware of the simple procedures and fast service you can get when going through official channels. :) http://www.microturbo.fr/article.php3?id_article=208&lang=en http://www.microturbo.fr/article.php3?id_article=174&lang=en Matt Roberds Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         AirTalk.org Forum Index -> Owning Airplanes All times are GMT Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Aviation----------------alt.aviationAviation safety EnhancementPlanes, gliders and flying in AustraliaAviation et pilotage (Français)rec.aviationAviation (Aerobatics)Hot air, gas balloons and airshipsHang-gliding, paragliding, foot-launched flightAircraft Design & BuildingInstrument Flight RulesAviation (Classifieds)Military AircraftNaval AviationAviation (Miscellaneous Topics)Owning AirplanesAviators (General Discussions)Aviation related productsAircraft RestorationHelicopters and rotary wing aircraftsFlight SimulationSailplanesAviation (Students)Light aircraftFlying related activities in the UK Airports----------------alt.airportsEdinburgh Airport Glasgow Airport Humberside Airport Luton Airport Aberdeen Airport Glasgow Prestwick Airport  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2006 phpBB Group SEO toolkit © 2004-2006 webmedic.
