Development of coupled short intake / low speed fan methods and experimental validation

Topic description

Specific Challenge:

The current proposal is aimed at understanding & developing key technology items critical to the successful realisation of methods to predict & design coupled short intakes and low speed fans so that they can be suitably optimised & competitive for future large geared gas turbine engines. This proposal will evolve the TRL of these key technology items for the large engine market VHBR engine demonstrator in WP6 of Engine ITD. Please refer to the full and formal topic descriptions published in this call.
