Passive Actuated Inlet for UHBR engine ventilation

While future engine tends to be hotter and sources of cooling to be fewer and more expensive, a passive actuated inlet system offers a way of controlling the engine ventilation and cooling needs whithout any architectural changes and active control means. By doing so, engine performance could be improved by an optimized cooling through ventilation, whithout any big architectural modification. Main activities of this topic are selection and characterization of appropriate materials, as shape memory alloy and passive two phase heat transport system, perform prototype modelling, design and manufacturing, followed by full demonstrator integration and tests. Please refer to the full topic descriptions document published in this call.
