Steep inter compressor ducts (ICDs) are a promising solution for reducing the environmental impact of future aircraft engines through lower fuel consumption. This fuel saving is due to several factors ...

However, with the right mods, it’s possible to turn one into a functioning internal combustion engine. The build starts by disassembling the compressor, which contains three double-sided pistons.

The Inter Compressor Duct is a state-of-the-art test facility specifically designed for the in-depth study of steep compressor intercoolers. It also allows the investigation of advanced stator ...

Just like any other internal combustion engine, air is compressed, fuel is burned, and the reaction produces work. In a turbojet, a compressor compresses air. Fuel is added in a combustor and ...

The test campaign of HPT blades and nozzles demonstrated improved durability and fuel efficiency compared to conventional ...
