Collins Aerospace has completed altitude testing of its Enhanced Power and Cooling System (EPACS), a proposed replacement for the power and thermal management system currently used on the F-35 fighter.
The system was operated for several days at different simulated altitudes and power levels intended to reproduce mission demands.
Collins said engineers pushed EPACS to its operating limits to measure performance and assess whether it could provide emergency electrical power under flight conditions.
