Robotic Assembly of Aero - Engine Components

The VITAL (EnVIronmenTALly Friendly Aero Engines) project funded by the European Commission under its Framework 6 Programme aims to provide significant reductions in fuel burn, emissions and noise through the development of innovative design and manufacturing techniques. One way to reduce the amount of fuel burnt, and hence CO2 produced, is to reduce the weight of the engine. A significant prop...

Aero-Engine Adaptive Fuzzy Decoupling Control

A new kind of multivariable adaptive fuzzy decoupling controller is present for Aero-engine, which consists of multivariable fuzzy decoupling control and fuzzy model reference learning control. A fuzzy inverse model is used to produce and adjust fuzzy rules online. The simulation results show that this controller is effective.

Future Aero Engine Designs: An Evolving Vision

Evolution of Compression Processes in Aero-Engine Thermal Cycles

In order to provide a basis for the establishment of an applicable strategy for the development of aero-engine thermal cycles, the evolution of compression processes in aero-engine thermal cycles is reviewed in this paper by analyzing the compression requirements for the injection or extraction of energy. It is therefore concluded that the injection of energy in the compression is required for ...

Pulse Detonation Engine - A Next Gen Propulsion

Pulse detonation technology has the potential to revolutionise both in-atmosphere and space flight. Having an engine capable of running efficiently at Mach 5 will not only allow for faster, more efficient intercontinental travel, but will also change the way spacecrafts are launched. The preset paper discuss about the applications of Pulse detonation engines and different possible variants of the
