Vector Aerospace has opened a new engine test cell at its Summerside facility in Prince Edward Island, Canada. The multimillion-dollar facility, which was the result of a financing partnership with provincial and federal governments, can support turboprop engines producing up to 5,000 shp. It joins three existing test stands at Summerside, two dedicated to turboprops and one to turbofans.
