Allison Engine Testing Stands, World War II engine testing facility in Eagle Farm, Australia
The site contains six open testing stands and two enclosed brick structures designed for aircraft engine testing at full power capacity.
The United States 81st Air Depot Group constructed these testing stands in 1942 to support Allied military operations in the Pacific region.
The facility exemplifies the collaboration between American military personnel and local Brisbane workers who learned aircraft engineering during wartime operations.
Visitors can explore the preserved testing stands and view interpretive panels along with a full-size replica of an Allison engine at TradeCoast Central Heritage Park.
Engineers used block-and-tackle systems on monorails to position engines high enough for propellers to rotate at maximum speed during tests.
