dyno INSITES
Whether you are an engineer responsible for designing an engine test cell, an operator, an engineering student, or simply a person interested in engine testing, the Dyno Insites podcast is your source for real-world, practical engine dynamometer conversation. We don't engage in lengthy banter. We get right to the point with a focus on educating our audience.
Gathering information about dynamometer test systems can involve scouring through numerous technical websites and often the information lacks the practical application aspect one seeks to fully understand engine test systems.
Join hosts and Froude engineers, Mike Golda and Chris Middlemass as they share a combined 60 years of engine test cell experience during this informative, 10 - 30 minute, monthly podcast. By the way, we don't have a fancy sound studio, we're recording in the back electronics lab in our Novi, MI location. We do our best to edit out obvious distracting noises, but we are all here and working, so the podcast may catch a bit of background noise-- perhaps a door closing or other sounds of a busy facility!

Aerospace Dynamometer Test Cell Requirements
In this podcast episode, Mike Golda and Matt Janisse discuss the requirements of aerospace test cells, focusing on rotating aerospace test equipment or dynamometers versus thrust. Matt, the Technical Sales Manager at Froude, shares his background and experience in the dynamometer industry as it relates to the aerospace test market.
They delve into the users of aerospace dynamometers, primarily OEMs, MROs, and government research centers. Matt emphasizes the importance of understanding the customer's needs and tailoring solutions for their specific applications, especially in the aerospace industry, where unique tests and requirements, such as altitude testing and attitude testing for helicopters, come into play.
Matt shares insights into various tests used in aerospace testing, such as load prop tests for turboprop engines, altitude testing, and attitude testing for helicopters as well as auxiliary power units (APUs).
The episode ends with an insightful look into the future trends in aerospace testing.
