An engine test stand is a facility used to develop, characterize and test engines. The facility, often offered as a product to automotive OEMs , allows engine operation in different operating regimes and offers measurement of several physical variables associated with the engine operation.
An iron bird is a ground-based test rig used for prototyping and integrating aircraft systems during the development of new aircraft designs. [1] Aircraft systems are installed into the iron bird so their functions can be tested both individually and in correlation with other systems.
The prototype TAA-1 is a 4-place, single piston engine aircraft powered by an "engine produced by an outside manufacturer", according to Toyota, and presumably built by Textron Lycoming. (in the 1990s, Toyota attempted to adapt one of their Lexus engines for aviation purposes, but eventually shelved the project due to an industry downturn).

Armstrong Whitworth Ape 1926 – Variable configuration aerodynamic test vehicle; Armstrong Whitworth A.W.52 1947 – Jet powered flying wing
DB-3 testbed aeroplane of TsAGI for laminar wing profiles research (1940) Sapphire turbojet engine fitted to an Avro 691 Lancastrian testbed (outer position), June 1954. A testbed aircraft is an aeroplane, helicopter or other kind of aircraft intended for flight research or testing the aircraft concepts or on-board equipment. These could be ...
A mechanical device test stand [1] is one specific type of test stand.It is a facility used to develop, characterize and test mechanical components. The facility allows for the testing of the component and, it offers measurement of several physical variables associated to the functionality of the component.
A detailed aluminum model aircraft might include a detailed fuselage and cockpit, retractable landing gear, and markings that closely mirror the original aircraft. [15] Additionally, models may be designed with functional features such as hinged access panels, folding wings, retractable landing gears, and activated control surfaces.
Singapore Airlines Boeing 747-400 scale display model Group of students with their wooden model airplanes in Sonta, Serbia, 1936. A model aircraft is a physical model of an existing or imagined aircraft, and is built typically for display, research, or amusement. Model aircraft are divided into two basic groups: flying and non-flying.
