9- by 15-Foot Low-Speed Wind Tunnel Commissioning Test Using Advanced Ducted Propulsor

A subscale model of an aircraft engine fan was tested in the 9- by 15-Foot Low-Speed Wind Tunnel at the NASA Glenn Research Center in 2022. The fan model was the Advanced Ducted Propulsor Fan 1 designed by Pratt & Whitney in the 1990s. It has been part of multiple wind tunnel test campaigns over the last 30 years. The 2022 test served two purposes: to commission the wind tunnel for fan and propulsor testing after a test facility improvement project and to generate a new data set with the latest data systems and processing improvements. This report documents the test and provides highlights of the aerodynamic and acoustic data that was generated. A supplemental data package that includes several parts (TM-20250004035-SUPPL.zip) accompanies this report.
