German Aerospace Center HBK5

As part of a technology partnership between ALSTOM and Rolls-Royce plc, a unique high-pressure combustion chamber test bench is being built at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) in Cologne. The aim of the test stand, which was developed in a joint venture, is to further increase the performance of combustion chambers and, at the same time, to significantly reduce exhaust gas and noise emissions from turbines. In the new high-pressure combustion chamber test stand (HBK5), combustion chamber tests are carried out that contribute to the development of future generations of aircraft engines and power plant turbines.
