Abstract

Apparatus to simulate supersonic high altitude flight for air driven eleccal generators. First and second air-tight chambers are provided, as are means for evacuating the chambers to a preselected pressure. The air driven generator has both air inlet means and air outlet means. The air inlet means of the air driven generator is in fluid communication with the second air-tight chamber, and the air outlet means of the air driven generator is in fluid communication with the first air-tight chamber. Adjustable orifice means are provided. Valve controlled air inlet means for allowing air to enter the second air-tight chamber through the adjustable orifice means are also provided.
