Perigee Turbopump Water Flow Test Completed

We have completed a Water Flow Test for the turbopump, verifying its stable operation under high-pressure and high-speed rotational conditions.

This test was conducted to reduce system-wide risks and pre-validate the mechanical performance and reliability of key components ahead of the currently ongoing Powerpack Test.

The next step will be an engine-level test that integrates the combustion chamber, valves, and turbopump. We plan to proceed with engine ignition and full propulsion system integration.

I always get a warm fuzzy feeling when I see the buckingham-pi theorem used in hands-on way.

Yes water is a fluid (just like gas) and lot cheaper to test with!....just need to make the appropriate dimensionless scaling parameters.
