  • Patent number: 10373388
    Abstract: A method for testing a turbojet engine for an aircraft in a U-shaped or open-air test bench includes: (a) visual inspection of the test bench and of the turbojet engine; and (b) testing of the turbojet engine in the test bench. During the test, the turbojet engine bears test equipment with sensors, other sensors being housed in the test bench. The test bench includes an augmented-reality system performing the step of (a) visual inspection in the test bench in order to detect a possible major anomaly in the test bench. The step of (a) visual inspection is intended to check the conformity of the test conditions, and especially those of the test equipment or that of the test bench as a whole. The method performs the step of (b) testing only in the absence of an anomaly.
