Environmental Advantages of Additive Manufactured (AM) Micro-Turbine Engine

Abstract

The technical objectives of this project are listed below: Demonstrate an AM micro-turbine for multiple applications, ensuring cost effectiveness and manufacturing sustainability of the newly developed AM turbine engine for DoD services; Demonstrate the potential for improved performance in thrust specific fuel consumption and noise emissions of AM micro-turbine engine by establishing baseline performance criteria and then recommending opportunities for optimization (as required); Validate reduced thrust specific fuel consumption and noise emissions of AM micro-turbine and provide recommendations for implementation at DoD installations.
