ROLLS-ROYCE CELEBRATES NEW SUCCESS IN TWO-SHAFT ENGINE RESEARCH PROGRAMME
Written by thomas · Filed Under Aeronautics NewsMay 27, 2010
Rolls-Royce has celebrated the successful running of the latest core engine build in its E3E (efficiency, environment, economy) two-shaft research programme.
E3E is developing leading-edge technologies which increase engine temperature, pressure ratio and component efficiencies, together with a 25 per cent-plus increase in thrust to weight ratios.
These technologies are designed to reduce fuel burn and CO2 emissions by 15 per cent, compared to similar engines currently in service. E3E lean-burn will also reduce NOx emissions as part of the companys drive to meet ACARE (Advisory Council for Aeronautics Research in Europe) targets of a 60 per cent reduction by 2020.
The programme is designed to address future customer needs in the corporate and narrowbody sectors.
The latest Core, 3/2b, has produced excellent results during 40 hours of running at Stuttgart University altitude test facility, far exceeding flight envelope requirements.
