Institution National Aerospace Laboratory NLR Date 1977-12-31 Abstract Military aircraft flying low level missions in Western Europe encounter a very different environment from that in most of the United States. Industrial pullution causes atmospheric moisture to be highly acid, and the corrosion rate of jet engine components is greatly increased, with consequent high maintenance costs. To help combat this problem the National Aerospace Laboratory NLR in the Netherlands has built special test rigs for testing jet engine materials and coatings under simulated environmental conditions. In this paper the test rigs and some results are discussed.
