Connecting American Manufacturers (CAM)
Abstract
This report summarizes assessments and analyses focused on identifying the sources and criticality of manufacturing variability on high pressure turbine blade performance. Technology gaps to reduce variability and the potential cost and benefits to close those gaps were evaluated. Rolls Royce Corporation took the approach to evaluate manufacturing variability as it relates to overall engine performance, whereas General Electric Aviation focused on airflow efficiency for high pressure turbine blades through improved cooling hole fabrication. Opportunities to close the gaps and improve the digital information thread were reported.
