Compact High OPR Gas Generator
Project Description
The Compact High Overall Pressure Ration (OPR) Gas Generator enables reduced size/flow high pressure compressors and high temperature disk/seals that are critical for 50+ OPR gas generators with minimal impact on noise and component life.
More »Anticipated Benefits
Reduction of aircraft fuel burn by developing critical small core component technologies to help enable 50+ OPR small core engines (TRL4 by end of FY20).
