US Army researchers examine solutions for improving aircraft engines
- Posted On
Military aircraft operate in demanding environments, such as sand, dust clouds, runway debris and even volcanic ash. Micro-particles from these hazards can wreak havoc on gas turbine engines. A team of U.S. Army and academic researchers reviewed a decade worth of studies examining fundamental physics in order to improve aircraft engine performance under extreme conditions. U.S. Army DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory Public Affairs, reports.
