The study of aerodynamic performance in compressor blades is critical for optimising the efficiency and reliability of modern turbomachinery. Recent work has focused on the dual challenges of ...

The GE9X is a smaller variant of the General Electric GE90 high-bypass turbofan engines, developed for the new Boeing 777-8x/9x aircraft and introduced in 2013. GE Aviation is designing a new, thinner ...

What is robust design optimization (RDO), and is it better than standard optimization? In this customer case, we describe a multi-disciplinary optimization of a turbocharger compressor from Ford Motor ...

Failure analysis of gas and compressor turbine blades encompasses the systematic investigation of damage phenomena that compromise blade integrity. This field integrates diverse approaches including ...

An innovative air compressor, claimed to be at least 20 per cent more efficient than existing devices, has earned its British inventor Steve Lindsey a finalist slot at the prestigious 2017 European ...

The Federal Aviation Administration has taken action in response to several instances of International Aero Engines (IAE) V2500 turbofans suffering high-pressure compressor blade failures. The agency ...
