FAR High Pressure Tests

27 Oct 2021 | By Finn | Launches and Tests

Over the summer we tested the FAR prototype under higher pressure. For that purpose we bought a 300bar air cylinder and regulator.We conducted the high pressure tests to research thrust and burntime under flying pressures of about 30bar and to check the experimental data against our simulation. Hydrostatic tests At first, to verify that the …
