Rotorcraft testing - Mustang Advanced Engineering Dynamometers

Mustang Advanced Engineering (MAE) delivers complete rotorcraft and helicopter testing solutions for both OEM and military applications. From large powertrain components to small subsystems, MAE designs and builds flexible test stands that support current and future transmissions, gearboxes.

For many of these projects, international to domestic, the customer needed a single partner to provide test stands, project management, full system integration, and turnkey installation. MAE was selected based on decades of experience designing powertrain test systems and our proven success supporting the largest U.S. military helicopter maintenance and repair operations.

MAE also developed the dynamic component testing software and led system integration, delivering test systems with exceptional flexibility, data quality, safety, and energy efficiency.
