In this thesis, an experimental test rig for demonstrating the operation of an aircraft gas turbine engine was designed, manufactured, test-run, and calibrated. The first part of the thesis describes the complete design of the experimental rig, including the determination of the measured parameters and the selection of a suitable turbine engine as well as all associated measurement infrastructure. The second phase presents the design and fabrication of custom-made components that enabled the installation of measurement sensors onto the turbine engine casing. The third phase describes the process of the test run, the calibration of the thrust force sensor and the air mass flow meter, and the execution of final measurements at various operating points. The turbine engine achieved a maximum thrust of 94,03 N at 154000 revolutions per minute, with a fuel mass flow rate of 0,00508 kg/s.
