ICTM Collaborative R&D 2020

Which technology combination is the most suitable for manufacturing reduced rotor diameters?

Challenge and Motivation

• The by pass ratio of the next aero engine generations will increase.
• The core engine will become smaller compared to current engine programs.
• New challenges for all machining processes result from the new design.
  

Objective

• Examine the manufacturability of Blisks with smaller Blades and reduced gaps in the framework.
• Investigation of scaling effects for the different manufacturing processes.
