Among the first projects initiated as part of the MRA, Collins and TU Delft are collaborating on a high speed intelligent inspection system to enhance manufacturing processes for lightweight and recyclable materials.
The state-of-the-art expansion will include cutting-edge, digitised fabrication processes and increased production capacity to meet the growing demand for advanced aero-engines.
Safran has been HAL's partner of choice for powering its helicopters, starting with the Artouste engines used in Cheetah and Chetak, followed by Shakti engine and its variants powering the ALH, LCH and LUH.
With this single order, the company's backlog has surged to over $280 million, marking the first time its backlog has exceeded a quarter of a billion dollars.
The first A321XLR completed its maiden flight in June 2022. This was followed by an extensive test programme involving three test aircraft. So far more than 500 Airbus A321XLRs have been ordered.
Applying winglets to the blade tips significantly changes the geometry of the blade and hence the flow around it, giving rise to improvements in both turbine and overall engine efficiency.
Wave engines are a class of aircraft engines that operate using pressure waves instead of rotating machinery. Intermittent combustion inside a hollow tube produces pressure waves that push hot gases and produce thrust.
The joint-venture will focus on the development of a new heavy helicopter engine to power the next generation of European military helicopters, scheduled to enter into service by 2040.
About 40 F414 engines and spare modules will be installed in the full production run of the KF-21, and Hanwha will also provide follow-up support such as engine maintenance instructors and on-site technical support.
Embedded electric motor/generators will optimise engine performance by creating a system that can work with or without energy storage like batteries, accelerating the use of hybrid electric tech for commercial aviation.
The L 410NG has state-of-the-art Garmin 3000 avionics, and TCAS and TAWS safety systems are integrated into the aircraft. It is powered by the H85-200 engine and AV 725 propeller.
The precooler increases the max speed of the turbine engine by lowering the temperature of incoming air. It is intended for Hermeus' Quarterhorse Mk 2 aircraft.
CFM reports that it is at a stage of the Revolutionary Innovation for Sustainable Engines (RISE) program in which it is doing real testing on real hardware and making real progress.
The company generated approximately $32 billion in adjusted revenue in 2023, with 70% generated by services and the strong economics of the engine aftermarket.
Designed, built and integrated in just seven months, this is the company's second fully-integrated vehicle in the past year, following Quarterhorse Mk 0 which completed its test campaign in November 2023.
The flight test programme will include engine performance and handling checks at various speeds and altitudes, inflight relights, tests of the nacelle's anti-icing system and fan vibration tests at various altitudes.
A new contract covers conceptual studies of power and propulsion systems for the next-generation of combat air capabilities, based on exploring both existing and future technology and performing demonstrations.
Rolls-Royce is investing £55m and recruiting more than 300 front-line staff, split between its operations in Derby, UK, and Dahlewitz, Germany. About two thirds of the jobs will be created in Derby.
Wave engines operate using pressure waves instead of rotating machinery. Intermittent combustion inside a hollow tube produces pressure waves that push hot gases and produce thrust.
Airframe changes accommodate a more powerful engine, a Pratt & Whitney PT6A-52, including more efficient intake plenum to improve ram air recovery, new engine mount assemblies and improved exhaust stack design.
Turbotech and Safran have successfully tested the first hydrogen-fueled gas turbine engine for the light aviation market, as part of the BeautHyFuel project. Gas was used, but liquid hydrogen will be next.
The ultimate goal of the test programme is a full gas hydrogen ground test on a Pearl engine, then transitioning to liquid hydrogen, and finally taking the technology to flight.
The HyTEC's Phase 2 Integrated Core Technology Demonstration is a cost-sharing contract with a maximum value of approximately $68.1 million and a five-year performance period.
