✦ Synopsis
Erosion by sand of aircraft and rotorcraft engines being a real problem, ONERA has developed a test facility to reproduce and analyse in laboratory, the impact of solid particles on targets. This test facility, based on aerodynamic particles acceleration, allows to generate a continuous flow of particles having a mean diameter of 80 to 600 mm, with a velocity up to 180 m s y1 . A remarkable characteristic of this set-up is that the particles impact on the target is achieved without any residual airflow. During tests with metallic targets, a vectorial Ž . mapping of the reflected particles has been reconstructed for several incidence angles 15 to 758 , by measurement of two components of the velocity and statistical signal processing.
