Typhoon Enters New Anechoic Chamber

Italy’s Alenia Aeronautica said the DA7 Eurofighter Typhoon prototype is the first aircraft to enter its new anechoic shielded chamber, described as the largest in Europe.
The chamber is used to test in the electromagnetic compatibility of aircraft and systems and measure the performance of emitting devices, specifically radio frequencies.
Located at the Alenia Ground Test Center at Turin-Caselle airport, the facility is a 900-square-meter building, 20 meters high, with an internal volume of 18,000 cubic metres. An internal hoist system is capable of lifting aircraft up to 25 tonnes.
