Advanced turbine system performance improvement through dual-spool rig tests

Dual-spool turbine rig test to support the maturation of the turbine vane frame (TVF) aerodynamic design for UHPE architectures, including the detailed system (HPT, TVF, LPT) and component performance results to be used in trade studies. Innovative instrumentation approaches including unsteady data acquisition and optical access are needed to quantify and visualize the complex aerodynamic component interactions under engine-representative flow conditions. Please refer to the full and formal topic descriptions published in this call.
