Turbine compressors historically have been coated as an afterthought. Initially, silicone aluminum paint and diffused nickel cadmium were the only coatings available for application to both rotating ...

The gas turbine is one of the most widely used forms of propulsion systems for modern aircraft engines. The engine’s core—defined as the compressor, burner, and turbine—is also known as the gas ...

Proper air filtration is critical to the overall performance and reliability of gas turbines. Fuel costs approach 80 percent of the life cycle cost of electricity. Small gains in efficiency can mean ...

The Federal Aviation Administration is set to require inspections of high-pressure turbine (HPTs) cases in some CFM International Leap-1A turbofans, which power Airbus A320neo-family jets. In a ...

Optimizing the airflow within turbine engines is critical in reaching peak efficiency and performance. Airflow management guarantees that the engine operates within the design parameters, maximizing ...
