  • Robust Gas Turbine and Airframe System Design in Light of Uncertain
    Robust Gas Turbine and Airframe System Design in Light of Uncertain Fuel and CO2 Prices Stephan Langmaak1, James Scanlan2, and András Sóbester3 University of Southampton, Southampton, SO16 7QF, United Kingdom This paper presents a study that numerically investigated which cruise speed the next generation of short-haul aircraft with 150 seats should y at and whether a con- ventional two- or three-shaft turbofan, a geared turbofan, a turboprop, or an open rotor should be employed in order to make the aircraft's direct operating cost robust to uncertain fuel and carbon (CO2) prices in the Year 2030, taking the aircraft pro- ductivity, the passenger value of time, and the modal shift into account. To answer this question, an optimization loop was set up in MATLAB consisting of nine modules covering gas turbine and airframe design and performance, ight and aircraft eet sim- ulation, operating cost, and optimization. If the passenger value of time is included, the most robust aircraft design is powered by geared turbofan engines and cruises at Mach 0.80. If the value of time is ignored, however, then a turboprop aircraft ying at Mach 0.70 is the optimum solution. This demonstrates that the most fuel-ecient option, the open rotor, is not automatically the most cost-ecient solution because of the relatively high engine and airframe costs. 1 Research Engineer, Computational Engineering and Design 2 Professor of Aerospace Design, Computational Engineering and Design, AIAA member 3 Associate Professor in Aircraft Engineering, Computational Engineering and Design, AIAA member 1 I. Introduction A. Background IT takes around 5 years to develop a gas turbine engine, which then usually remains in pro- duction for more than two decades [1, 2].

    European Aviation Safety Agency Notice of Proposed Amendment 2018-13 Appendix I to AMC to Annex III (Part-66) Aircraft type ratings for Part-66 aircraft maintenance licences RMT.0541 (66.024) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This Notice of Proposed Amendment (NPA) addresses a regulatory coordination issue related to aircraft type ratings. According to the AMC to Annex III (Part-66), type ratings should be endorsed on an aircraft maintenance licence (AML) in accordance with Appendix I to AMC to Part-66 ‘List of type ratings’. An NPA is issued regularly to amend this list, after assessing feedback received from the industry, and to add new aircraft types or to remove aircraft types whose type certificate (TC) has been revoked or surrendered. This NPA adds also the tables of the new Group as a consequence of the introduction of the ‘L’ licence subcategories by Commission Regulation (EU) 2018/1142. The main objective is to ensure a common standard throughout the Member States. Action area: Regular updates/review of rules Affected rules: AMC/GM to Annex III (Part-66) to Commission Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014 Affected stakeholders: Maintenance certifying staff; maintenance training organisations; maintenance organisations; competent authorities Driver: Efficiency/proportionality Rulemaking group: No Impact assessment: None Rulemaking Procedure: Standard 12.5.2009 5.12.2018 2019/Q2 TE.RPRO.00034-008 © European Aviation Safety Agency.

This was repeated approximately one minute later. It was also reported that an orange flash, associated with the right engine, had been seen. The flight crew identified that No 2 engine had surged and recovered, with the engine indications returning to normal. The aircraft's Quick Reference Handbook, coupled with the training that the flight crew had received, provided them with inadequate guidance with which to fully assess the situation. Their initial intention to continue to Edinburgh was changed upon advice from the operator and the crew initiated a return to Heathrow. The engine then began to surge again and, once more, recovered, but this was followed by another series of surges.

  • Jet Engines – Bearings, Seals and Oil Consumption
    Memo AERO_M_JetEngineBearingsAndOilConsumption_18-04-02.pdf Date: 2018-04-02 Prof. Dr. Dieter Scholz, MSME Aircraft Design and Systems Group (AERO) Department Automotive and Aeronautical Engineering Hamburg University of Applied Sciences Hamburg Berliner Tor 9, 20099 Hamburg, Germany Phone: +49 - 40 - 42875 - 8825 E-Mail: [email protected] WWW: http://AERO.ProfScholz.de Download from: http://reports-at-aero.ProfScholz.de Jet Engines – Bearings, Seals and Oil Consumption Abstract Purpose of this review is to understand how to find values for three input values for the calculation of the oil concentration in aircraft cabins. These are the number of bearings of the jet engine and the number of them upstream of the bleed air ports as well as the oil consumption per hour. Methodology is an Internet review of related facts. Findings: Jet engine schematics are available online and can be interpreted to find the number of bearings. Values for the CFM56 engine are 5 bearings with 3 of them upstream of the bleed port. Oil consumption should be assumed to be 0.3 L/h for the CFM56 engine. Rates for selected other engines are also given. Research limitations are due to the fact that detailed company data is not available and own measurements can not be made on passenger jets. 1 AERO_M_JetEngineBearingsAndOilConsumption_18-04-02.pdf 1 Introduction An attempt has been made to estimate the amount of oil leaving a jet engine into the bleed air. Bleed air is air taken from the engine compressor. It is used (among other tasks) for aircraft cabin air conditioning. In order to perform this calculation some jet engine parameters have to be known (Scholz 2017): number of engine bearings, number of bearings upstream of the first bleed port, engine oil consumption per flight hour.
