Novel Propulsion and Power Concepts

For Next-Gen Green Aircraft

  • New aero engine system configurations and design methods for, e.g.:
     
    • Turbofan with BLI (Boundary Layer Ingestion) fan
       
    • Hydrogen fuelled gas turbines
       
  • Novel power units for more electric aircraft (MEA) like fuel cells or gas turbines
     
  • Waste heat recovery systems
