An EU-funded project successfully developed critical aviation engine components for innovative propulsion systems destined for aircraft of the future.
Whether operators or manufacturers, the entire aviation industry shares the same key goals: to drive down costs by reducing fuel consumption, mitigating harmful emissions and decreasing noise. One of the most amazing new engine architectures promising to make aircraft more eco-friendly and less costly is the contra-rotating open rotor (CROR), being developed as a technology demonstrator in the European research programme Clean Sky.
