airborne test(ing) facility Explanation: Я привела терминологию NASA. Думаю, что в данном случае именно это имеется в виду. Вот пример использования: https://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/199500... (стр. 76 и стр.261) "In addition to defining a FBL/PBW architecture, it is also necessary that the program demonstrate one or more flight-critical functions in flight and develop the following enabling technologies: 1. industry standards 2. certification 3. FBL/PBW system design approach 4. ground and airborne test facilities [...]" (p.76) "Provide ground and airborne test facility [...]" (p.261) Я не согласна с коллегами, т.к. сам самолет не является экспериментальным. Речь идет о том, что на этой летающей лаборатории будут проводиться эксперименты (испытания) в воздухе. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day 50 mins (2018-09-26 19:20:22 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Nina, "facility" has a great number of meanings. I am not sure why you think it can't be used in this context. Here's a couple of definitions from Google (bold text is mine): fa·cil·i·ty fəˈsilədē/Submit noun 1. a place, amenity, or bold piece of equipment provided for a particular purpose. "cooking facilities" synonyms: provision, space, means, potential, equipment More 2. an ability to do or learn something well and easily; a natural aptitude. "he had a facility for languages" synonyms: aptitude, talent, gift, flair, bent, skill, knack, genius; More If it hurts your ear that badly, I like Rashid's idea -- "flying lab". Also, I work in aviation industry and - no, Airbus is not building a new plane for this purpose. They are just adapting the existing one to be able to switch on-board equipment and engines, etc. So the airplane cannot be classified as "experimental". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day 51 mins (2018-09-26 19:21:29 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "bold" was added accidentally. Sorry. Should be "piece of equipment" |

flying testbed Explanation: Airbus, Rolls-Royce, and Siemens team up for electric future Partnership launches E-Fan X hybrid-electric flight demonstrator...The E-Fan X hybrid-electric technology demonstrator is anticipated to fly in 2020 following a comprehensive ground test campaign, provisionally on a BAe 146 flying testbed, with one of the aircraft’s four gas turbine engines replaced by a two megawatt electric motor. https://www.airbus.com/newsroom/press-releases/en/2017/11/ai... Siemens and Airbus have signed a collaboration agreement in the field of hybrid electric propulsion. In doing so, they have launched a major joint project towards the electrification of aviation with the goal of demonstrating the technical feasibility of various hybrid/electric propulsion systems by 2020. https://www.siemens.com/press/en/feature/2016/corporate/2016... Airbus (EADSF), Rolls-Royce (RYCEF) and Siemens (SIEGY) said Tuesday that they want to trial a modified commercial aircraft partially powered by electricity in 2020. They said the project — called E-Fan X — will be based on a modified 100-seat BAe146 regional aircraft. https://money.cnn.com/2017/11/28/technology/electric-plane-s... Airbus, Rolls-Royce, and Siemens are teaming up to move electric aircraft from the small and experimental to the large and practical. At the Royal Aeronautical Society in London, the three giant engineering concerns announced that they are pooling their resources to build the E-Fan X hybrid-electric technology demonstrator that is based on a BAE Systems 146 flying testbed and is slated to fly in 2020. https://newatlas.com/airbus-rolls-royce-siemens-e-fan-x-hybr... |
