Abstract :
In an effort to support the Air Force´s new F-22 Fighter aircraft with its dual F119-PW-100 jet engines, a new approach has been taken to realize the benefits of automated jet engine testing. This paper describes an automated test approach that is currently under development and will be used by the Air Force to test the F119 jet engine. It also identifies the equipment, methods and techniques that are being employed to accomplish this task.
