Sustainable alternative to Burner Rig Testing of Turbine Engine Materials

Summary

Honeywell Aerospace, a leading provider of aviation technology in both the commercial and defense sectors, is our industrial partner for this project. Known for their engines and auxiliary power units, Honeywell aims to reduce fuel consumption, increase testing capacity, and lower NOx emissions during testing. This solution involves eliminating combustion from the process and using electric alternatives, including a high-temperature furnace, specialized heating elements and a custom recirculation system, all supported by sensors to validate test results and revolutionize how critical aerospace materials are developed and tested.
