In the article there was presented a quality assessment of parameters selection of bypass turbine engine for a multipurpose aircraft. It was assumed that the assessment criterion results from the energy-consumption of a flight. The criteria of energy-consumption range were defined as the relation of sum of energy supplied to the aircraft on the driven stages to the distance during a mission. Th...

The engine control system for civil transport aircraft imposes operational limits on the propulsion system to ensure compliance with safety standards. However, during certain emergency situations, aircraft survivability may benefit from engine performance beyond its normal limits despite the increased risk of failure. Accordingly, control modes were developed to improve the maximum thrust outpu...

This paper investigates the trending of performance parameters for aircraft engine condition monitoring. Vibration data is often an indicator of sudden changes in the state of an aircraft engine. Performance parameters, which include pressure and temperature data, usually track slower changes in engine condition. The aim of this paper is to determine precursors to engine events through performa...

Aircraft emissions are a significant source of pollution and are closely related to engine fuel burn. The onboard Flight Data Recorder (FDR) is an accurate source of information as it logs operational aircraft data in situ. The main objective of this paper is the visualization and exploration of data from the FDR. The Airbus A330 223 is used to study the variation of normalized engine performan...

Pollution emission levels of aircraft engines are a nowadays high concern. Any technological advance that could reduce emission levels is always welcome. In what concerns aircraft engines, a possible solution for this problem could be the use of regenerators and intercoolers. These components might reduce the specific fuel consumption, increase efficiency and specific thrust and consequently re...

1EPA 2Printed on paper that contains at least 30 percent postconsumer fiber. 1 This fact sheet focuses on contrails produced by aircraft engine exhaust. However, the term " contrail " is also used to refer to the short trails sometimes briefly appearing over aircraft wings or engine propellers, especially under mild, humid conditions. These contrails consist entirely of atmospheric water that c...

This article defines the typical damage to components of turbine engines, highlighting the differences between them and indicating possible causes. The distinction between various types of defects helps to explain the occurrence and supports personnel in defining the most suitable maintenance action to be performed. The defects described below are common in high-airflow turbine aviation engines...

An understanding of aircraft fuel burn and emissions is necessary to evaluate their effects on the environment. In this paper, data from Flight Data Recorders (FDRs) have been used to estimate the operational values of times in mode, fuel flow rates, fuel burn, NOx emission indices, and quantities of emissions produced during the Landing and Take Off (LTO) cycle for 12 aircraft-and-engine combi...

To address the question of the role of nonlinear effects in the propagation of noise radiated by high-power jet aircraft, extensive measurements were made of the F-22A Raptor during static engine run-ups. Data were acquired at low-, intermediate-, and high-thrust engine settings with microphones located 23-305 m from the aircraft along several angles. Comparisons between the results of a genera...
