Pyestock Anechoic Chamber - JET ENGINE TESTING ROOM 2020 4k

NGTE Pyestock Anechoic Facility, Fleet, Hampshire44.


Noise testingResearch into the problems associated with aircraft noise has continued at N.G.T.E. for several years and the first anechoic testing chamber employed for this purpose was built in the early sixties; this test equipment is described in Section 5, Paragraph 32. The increasing demand for quieter aircraft which has arisen in recent years has further stimulated the demand for more research work in the noise field with the result that it was decided in 1969/70 to build a larger test facility capable for undertaking large scale noise tests on a variety of gas turbine components and associated equipment.


The new Noise Test Facility will complement existing facilities in the UK for experimental work on aero engine noise porblems by providing for the testing, at relatively large scale, compressors, turbines, jets and ducts having absorbent liners. It is envisaged that the equipment will be used for a wide-ranging variety of research and development programmes by both government workers and industry.The facility has two main laboratories and the predominate feature of the construction is that the two units have been built quite separately on two different sites. These units are: -



 The Absorber Rig Facility

The Anechoic Chamber Facility



The Absorber Rig Facility was the first to be completed and it came into service in the summer of 1972. The Anechoic Chamber Facility was commissioned just over one year later in early 1974.

PLEASE NOTE: Drone was flown by Rob on specials days of the year when the nearby Airfield was confirmed SHUT so airspace was able to be used. Rob Knew what he was doing but DO NOT FLY NEAR AIRFIELDS WITH YOUR DRONE without permission, it is dangerous and you may get caught and fined.
