FROUDE, Inc.

Froude has always been the innovator of aircraft engine test equipment producing world-class products. We design and manufacture a range of dynamometers, control and data acquisition systems designed for gas turbine engine testing. Applications include R&D, production and post overhaul testing, with products in use by leading manufacturers, M.R.O.s and test facilities. Our range covers applications from high-powered industrial gas turbines, direct and indirect drive turboshafts, turboprops, and APUs.

Froude's High-Speed range of dynamometers are specifically designed for gas turbine testing. Designed for turboshaft/turboprop engine applications, each featuring interchangeable engine adaptor frames which allow several engine types to be tested on a single stand.

Froude's F-Type hydraulic dynamometers are designed for high accuracy of control, torque measurement and rapid load changes. Our range includes low speed, high torque variants for turboprop testing and higher speed, lower torque variants for turboshaft testing in uni- and bi-directional configurations.
