The Status and Trend of Oversea ATF Development( Part One)

航空进入喷气时代以来,航空发动机高空模拟试验设备(简称高空台)的作用逐渐被人们所认识,得到了广泛的应用和发展。从1937年德国建立第一座冲压式发动机高空台并在其后进行了V-1脉冲式喷气发动机高空风洞试验起,全世界已有德、美、英、法、前苏联和中国等先后建立了各种不同类型的高空台约35套;试验舱约100个。近年来,气源能力与试验舱尺寸越建越大,功能越来越强,控制与测试越来越精。这些对世界航空动力技术的发展起到了极大的推动作用。

Since Germany built the first ramjet altitude test facility (ATF) in 1937, the Germany, U. S. A., Britain, Former Soviet Union, France and China have established the different ATF up to some 35 units. The ATF was under developing stage in the 1940s and 1950s, while the ATF was on the mature period in the 1960s and 1970 s. The large ATF was built in the 1980s such as the ASTF of the U. S. A. The paper simply describes the ATF' s status at each stage and its developing trend.
