Hypobaric test center
The CEH is equipped with a pressurized chamber for flight testing. Our altitude simulator can replicate conditions up to 40,000 feet and a space simulator can simulate altitudes up to 4×10^-5 bar / over 70 km.
There are numerous hypobaric chambers ranging up to a vacuum, instruments for measuring volume variations, and data acquisition systems.
Altitude simulator
Hypoxic chamber dedicated to flight simulations
The possibility of reproducing in this 20 m² habitable altitude simulator a flight of up to 40,000 Feet (around 12,000 meters), allows to carry out trials and equipment qualifications in the presence of human subjects, with the support of our technical teams.
