位于加拿大曼尼托巴省温尼伯市的发动机测试与研发中心（TRDC）于近日庆祝该中心成立一周年，同时该中心刚刚完成了升级项目，将有能力保持全年运营。
曼尼托巴省温尼伯市，2013年3月28日------
占地122,000平方英尺（~11,333平方米）的发动机测试与研发中心最初是为进行喷气发动机寒冷天气和结冰测试而设计的，目前已扩展为适用于各种天气状况下发动机的研发和测试。该设施属GE公司拥有，但由SandardAero公司负责运营。2012年，两家公司因该项合作被加美商务委员会（CABC）授予商务成就奖。
2012年夏天，GE航空集团与West Canitest研发公司共同为该中心投资，GE投入250万美元，West Canitest公司投入500万美元。West Canitest是一家非盈利组织，使用联邦政府资金专为第三方进行的技术开发项目和发动机测试研究提供资助。该项资金专门用于购置额外的测试设备、建造一个混凝土底座以使风洞可移动以满足不同类型的测试需要、数字式温度测量设备以及为进行性能测试而使进入发动机的气流平滑稳定的控制紊流的结构体。
