AEC Fan Cases for LEAP & GE9X Engines - Durable Composites
In a joint venture with Safran, AEC have combined our 3D weaving and Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) capabilities to produced lighter, more durable fan cases for the LEAP and GE9X engines. Fan Cases are a critical component of the jet engine that encloses the fan blades.
Jet Engine covers, FOD covers, Inlet Covers - King Bag
Our engine covers are made from heavy tarp vinyl, #10 nylon YKK zippers, and industrial fasteners and webbing. Design, colors and printing are made to OEM specifications, or we can design custom covers for your needs. Our inlet plugs are made from soft upholstery foam or rigid polyethylene foam and wrapped in vinyl fabric or Cordura fabric.
Damage-Tolerant Fan Casings for Jet Engines | NASA Spinoff
NASA has spearheaded research into improving jet engine fan casings, ultimately discovering a cost-effective approach to manufacturing damage-tolerant fan cases that also boast significant weight reduction. In an aircraft, weight reduction translates directly into fuel burn savings, increased payload, and greater aircraft range.
Components of jet engines - Wikipedia
This is the case on many large aircraft such as the 747, C-17, KC-10, etc. If you are on an aircraft and you hear the engines increasing in power after landing, it is usually because the thrust reversers are deployed. The engines are not actually spinning in …
The basic configuration of jet engines has not changed up until now, and the engine is composed of an air intake, a compressor or a fan, a combustor or a combustion chamber, a turbine and an exhaust nozzle.
Jet engine fan blade containment using an alternate geometry
2009年5月1日 · With a goal of reducing jet engine weight, simulations of a fan blade containment system with an alternate geometry were tested and analyzed. A projectile simulating a fan blade was shot at two alternate geometry containment case configurations using a gas gun.
Due to this requirement the fan case is the heaviest single component of a jet engine. The Federal Aviation Administration further requires that jet engine manufacturers demonstrate, through a certification test, that the most critical blade be contained within the engine when a blade is released whilethe engine isrunning at full rated thrust [2].
Fan Case The fan case of a turbo fan engine is a major part of the engine that serves two purposes; enclose the fan, and shield the passengers and aircraft in the case of a blade-out accident. More often than not, the case is the single heaviest component of a …
