Advance Nacelle Aerodynamic Optimisation

 

Design & develop innovative ' short ' and ' slimline ' nacelle fan cowls, optimised using the latest numerical analysis techniques to explore new areas of the design space, with the goal of maximising aerodynamic performance for the UltraFan® engine. Verify the optimisation by testing several designs, both at design point and ' off-design ' ( Mn range 0.3 to 0.9 ), employing advanced aerodynamic measurement techniques to provide data from which the design methods can be validated. Please refer to the full topic descriptions document published in this call.
