MEMS in Turbine Engines
Abstract
There are many promising insertion opportunities for microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) in turbine engines. Applications for novel control systems include sensors, actuators, and communications systems in networks. Significant technical barriers, including hazardous environments, packaging, and power, may limit the utility of MEMS in engines. Innovative technology transition strategies that rationalize both technical and nontechnical barriers to technology insertion must be developed to bring about MEMS usage by the engine development community.
