Abstract

The invention relates to a test bench for an axial turbine engine, especially for a turbojet, including: a chamber intended to accommodate the turbine engine; a vertical inlet channel connected to the chamber upstream of the turbine engine; and a vertical outlet channel connected to the chamber downstream of the turbine engine; at least one wind power engine capable of converting the kinetic energy of a portion of the gas stream generated by the turbine engine into mechanical energy; the wind power engine or at least one of the wind power engines is situated in the vertical inlet channel and/or the vertical outlet channel. The invention also relates to a process for recovering energy of such a test bench.
