A new turbine profile was designed based on the engine-side boundary conditions of the existing UHBR-GTF engine preliminary design from the DLR Perfect project. The complex blade geometry is ...

A research team led by Colorado State University has achieved a new milestone in 3D X-ray imaging technology. The scientists are the first to capture high-resolution CT scans of the interior of a ...

Laser shock peening, or more simply laser peening, is an effective method of increasing the resistance of gas turbine engine compressor and fan blades in aircraft to foreign object damage and ...

Current industrial CT scanners are not only massive and costly, but they produce images with millimeter scale resolution. The team’s laser-driven approach generates a much smaller X-ray source, ...

Technical difficulties were never fully overcome, the increasing cost of fuel made gas turbine cars uneconomic to run, and meanwhile by the 1960s the piston engine had improved immeasurably over ...

The scientists have captured high-resolution CT scans of the interior of a large, dense object -- a gas turbine blade -- using a ... components and turbojet engines. With growth in additive ...

The scientists are the first to capture high-resolution CT scans of the interior of a large, dense object – a gas turbine blade – using a compact, laser-driven X-ray source. The findings ...
