The Large Altitude Simulation System (LASS) in the WSTF 400 Area is comprised of a three-module chemical steam generator that powers large two-stage ejector sets of the altitude simulation system. Optimization of the entire steam system to engine requirements is achieved by the configuration of the number of modules fired, the replaceable nozzles and throat sections of the large ejectors, and the interchangeable diffusers.
