A World of OpportunitiesIn January, The New York Times called air travel "your biggest carbon sin." We await furthernews of how the current administration will deal with air carrier emission targets and associated penalties. Ultimately, the question is not whether we will adopt internationalemission fees or impose fees of our own, or whether passing along such a burden topassengers will sink the industry.

Rather it all comes down to how commercial carriers can cut the carbon footprint of their jetengines while containing technological upgrade and fuel costs enough to stay in business.Achieving both goals seems to require some kind of magic. According to interviews in thisissue conducted by technical sleuth Hank Hogan, biofuels may be that magic potion.

It is no news that the supply of readily extractable crude oil of the type best for producingjet fuel continues to diminish, while prices rise proportionately. At the same time, synergiesbetween those engaged in rapidly evolving biofuel technologies, the suppliers of raw materials,and investors starting to support large-scale biofuel processing all point the way to the future ofengine fuels - and the many business opportunities related to this growing sector.

Biofuels have the potential of drastically cutting the carbon footprint of jets, and with theneeded support and focus, reducing fuel costs. We are talking about energy independence,ensured supply, competitive market pricing, support of local economies, and, yes, improved airquality. Speaking of local economies, consider the possibility that rather than having to pay forwaste disposal, municipalities could convert waste into jet and diesel fuel. Now, that doessound like magic.

Also in this issue, our aerospace scientist and Embry-Riddle professor Magdy Attiadiscusses a major breakthrough in aircraft engine efficiency and thus cost savings for operators.Starting with examining the engineering model for fuel usage in the typical combustionchamber, Attia unravels the mystery of how a geared turbofan design can achieve an impressive15 percent improvement in fuel efficiency.

While this topic has been an issue since the first test of an aircraft engine and so many ofthe world's top scientists and engineers have dedicated their lives and budgets to solving thispuzzle, the ultimate direction of the evolution of jet engine design remains to be chosen by themarketplace. Will more traditional designs - perhaps using higher turbine inlet temperatures,new high-tech materials, or the open-rotor - continue to dominate or will the geared turbofantake over the market?

In this climate of budget tightening, air carriers also are seeking more cost-effectivestrategies for engine maintenance and inventory management, including handling such tasksin-house, outsourcing, and a combination of both scenarios. In some cases, operators aretaking advantage of the expertise increasingly available in lower-cost regions. What are theconsiderations, costs, and benefits involved in making these strategic decisions? Industryspecialist Donna Doleman talks with top decision makers and service suppliers to find out.

Finally, Tom Withington, our international correspondent, discusses the industry shiftoccurring on the Continent, with Central and Eastern European nations involved more thanever in the ongoing growth of the corporate aircraft engine market. In this increasinglyglobalized marketplace, with many nations' economies in transition, it is not surprising that newopportunities for support, services, and engine parts may be emerging where least expected.

Pratt & Whitney Completes First PurePower Enginefor Airbus A320neo FamilyPratt & Whitney has completed assembly of its firstengine to test (FETT) for its PurePower PW1100G-JMgeared turbofan engine, the first engine to power theAirbus A320neo aircraft. The engine, rated at 33,000pounds of thrust, is the third member of the PurePowerfamily of engines to begin testing. (The total for fullengine testing recently exceeded 3,700 hours and 11,000cycles.)

The PurePower geared turbofan engine uses anadvanced geared system, allowing the engine's fan tooperate at a different speed from that of the low-pressure compressor and turbine. This system combinedwith an all-new advanced core delivers increased fuelefficiency and environmental benefits.

The PW1100G-JM engine test program will run eighttest engines over the next 24 months. The test engineswill be built at Pratt & Whitney's West Palm Beach,Florida, and Middletown, Connecticut, facilities. Pratt &Whitney has reported over 1,130 firm orders forPW1100G-JM engines to power the Airbus A320neofamily of aircraft. Entry into service is scheduled forOctober 2015.

With the cost of aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul

(MRO) reportedly ranging between 9 and 14 percent of a

passenger airlines' operating costs, carriers are seeking

more cost-effective strategies. These strategies range from outsourcing

everything to doing all work in-house - and every conceivable scenario

in between.

OUTSOURCING MRO: LEVERAGING EXPERIENCEOf the airlines that responded to a 2010 Benchmark Analysis by theInternational Air Transport Association (IATA) Maintenance Cost Task Force, 17 percent stated that they outsource all maintenance activities. Globally,some 65 percent of airline MRO is outsourced.

Lufthansa Technik, the MRO segment of Deutsche Lufthansa, became an

independent subsidiary in 1995. Consistently recognized as one of the topMRO companies worldwide, Lufthansa Technik has received numerousindustry awards, including "MRO Company of the Year," "Best Engine MRO,"and "Best Component MRO."

Lufthansa Technik developed its Total Support concept in the mid 1990swith Total Technical Support (TTS) as its flagship product. Today, under theumbrella of Total Support Services, customers may choose from acustomizable array of services for maintaining engines, airframes, and othercomponents. MRO offerings range from short-term line maintenance checksand regular services through and including heavy maintenance/overhaulchecks and processes. Customers also may opt for other support services,including operations management, logistics, leasing support, and technical training.

Offering line maintenance worldwide, the company has base maintenancefacilities in both Europe and Asia. Dirk Winkler, Senior Sales Executive forCentral Europe at Lufthansa Technik says, "We offer TTS around the globewithout geographical limitations. If we do not have an existing support station,we will set it up as per the customer's demand or work together with localcompanies to provide the services.

"Base maintenance alone is not the factor that makes TTS a viable modelfor airlines," Winkler notes. "It's having someone who can manage all theservices needed for the technical operation of the aircraft in the best and mosteconomical way. You integrate various aspects of technical support into oneorganization, so you can achieve the benefits of coordination. This, combinedwith service guarantees, does definitely give the customer more usable timefrom the asset aircraft and reduces the overall cost.

"As we have currently contracted about 500 aircraft for TTS, we think theproduct delivers what the customers expect," he continues. As to other

benefits, Winkler says, "I think it is theability to focus on the main businessof the customers, which is flying, [withtheir] being able to rely on anexperienced, high-quality provider.You'll have predictability, lower risk,and increased flexibility whenincreasing or decreasing your fleet."Lufthansa Technik also offers

customers access to manage/m, aWeb-based technical operationsmanagement program. Winkler states,"This enables Lufthansa Technikcustomers to securely monitor andcontrol the technical operations oftheir fleet from any Web access pointin the world - anytime."As a commercial aircraft operator

having sourced out all or part of yourMRO tasks to Lufthansa Technik, theaviation authorities will require theairline to demonstrate that they have

full control of the technical operations. This is exactly what manage/m is aimedat." He explains, "At the touch of a button, you can supply any informationthat you may be asked to provide, from showing the progress of anAirworthiness Directive implementation to reviewing the technical status ofyour entire fleet."

OUTSOURCING TO INDEPENDENT MROPROVIDERS IN LOWER-COST REGIONSAnother cost-saving strategy is outsourcingMRO work to lower-cost regions, such as Asia.Hong Kong Aircraft Engineering Company(HAECO) is an award-winning service providerthat has been recognized as a "LeadingIndependent MRO." HAECO provides

numerous MRO services, including airframe maintenance, cabinreconfiguration, freighter conversion, line maintenance, fleet technicalmanagement, and training.

Unlike many independent companies offering labor-intensive airframeMRO, however, the HAECO Group also offers highly technical engine work.Such engine MRO work can be costly. In fact, engine-related work accounts forroughly 40 percent of the industry's MRO value.

Summit Chan, Group Director, Commercial, at HAECO, advises that two ofthe HAECO Group companies, Hong Kong Aero Engine Services Limited(HAESL) and Taikoo Engine Services (Xiamen) Ltd. or TEXL, specialize in therepair and overhaul of the Rolls-Royce RB211, the Rolls-Royce Trent family, andGE90 engines.

"Engines should be flying and helping airlines to earn revenue," Chan says."Removing an engine from the wing and sending it to a shop for repair andtesting is time-consuming and costly. This explains an increasing demand foron-wing inspection, repair, and modification work. HAESL is leveraging thisopportunity to offer airline customers a quality and cost-effective solution.

"In training a dedicated HOTS (HAESL On-wing Total Support) team,HAESL seeks to deliver the highest level of service in a timely manner to

customers globally," Chan continues. "Armed with the right tool kits andspares, the HOTS team is on standby to take the next available flight todeliver repair solutions that help airlines avoid unscheduled engine removaland promptly recover from an AOG (aircraft on ground) situation. The HOTSteam provides full engineering services with regulatory certification forengine repairs on site. This helps airlines maximize aircraft engineoperational availability and minimize any potential impact on flightschedules."

HAESL doubled its on-wing support hours in the past 3 years to meetcustomer demand, supporting carriers around the world. The companyserves customers in China, Japan, Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Germany, Luxembourg, Switzerland, New Zealand, Colombia, and the United States.

"TEXL in Xiamen, China, is a licensed and approved GE90 ServiceProvider and GE90 Center of Excellence," Chan explains. "Its BrandedServices Agreement with long-term partner GE Aviation allows fullintegration into the GE system for priority materials supply, vendormanagement, technical documentation, technical deviation management,and other key support activities. This ensures that TEXL can continue toexceed our customers' expectations by delivering a quality product in anoptimal turn time."

Chan further observes that TEXL was designed and constructed with leanprocesses in mind. The overriding goal was to provide an efficient flow ofkey processes, such as assembly, disassembly, cleaning, inspection, andcomponent repair.

Additionally, TEXL's consignment store and bonded warehousearrangement were developed in partnership with GE Aviation. "They ensure

required materials are prestocked at the facility andpaid for only on issue to a particular engine orproject," Chan notes. This minimizes inventory-holdingcosts and allows materials to be available as needed.

MIXED MRO MODEL: MAKING CHOICES ABOUTIN-SOURCING AND OUTSOURCINGUS Airways performs maintenance in house butoutsources what makes sense. Honored as anOutstanding Airline Maintenance Group, the companyhas been recognized for lowering deferredmaintenance items under the Federal AviationAdministration (FAA)-approved minimum equipmentlist (MEL) and nonessential furnishing programs,reducing the number of aircraft out of service due tomaintenance-related items. It also has beenrecognized for becoming the first airline to have itsFAA-approved Safety Management System (SMS)process validated by the International Air TransportAssociation (IATA) Operational Safety Audit. Thebenefits include increased aircraft availability, lessinventory, and lower costs.

David Seymour, Senior Vice President of Operationsat US Airways, credits their award-winning MRO service to, "our incrediblyexperienced and talented work force." Seymour says those qualities arefound in every area of operations, from the front line personnel to themechanics who perform their heavy base maintenance checks.

"We have excelled at making sure we put everyone in the organization ina position of having everything they need to do their jobs. We also embracedthe FAA Safety Management System process, and we reorganized tocentralize command and control."

Such success took work. "About 5 years ago," Seymour reports, "we didan extremely comprehensive review of all of our policies and procedures."Aside from some help tracking projects, cross-functional teams at US Airwaysdid all of the work. "We knew we needed to really 'own' the change,"Seymour explains. "These teams developed processes and procedures andagreed upon them.

"At the core of the review was the FAA SMS," he continues. "It wasfundamental to everything we did. We examined processes that were fallingshort and fixed gaps. As a result, all of our teams interact more, and everyoneknows they can rely on each other. The organization really grew and bondedtogether."

SMS is used in all major work areas, from airport to in-flight to heavymaintenance, Seymour points out. "Our data analysis can show us what towork on, but our cross-functional teams make the improvements. Forexample, our MEL items are less than 50 percent of what they were 5 yearsago."

US Airways performs its own line maintenance and over 50 percent of itsheavy maintenance in Pittsburgh or Charlotte. "We keep our hangars full andoutsource what doesn't fit," Seymour concludes.

in inventory carrying costs.Ed Dolanski, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of

Aviall, based in Dallas, Texas, describes the value of sophisticated capabilitiesin inventory management, logistics, and service. "Many of our customerscould testify to success stories regarding Aviall's service level. In particular,many of the large turbine engine MROs have become so confident in Aviall'sability to forecast and stock long lead-time parts for engines that they havereduced their own inventories by half or more.

"In most cases," he explains, "the benefit comes from Aviall's willingnessto forecast demand, place orders with themanufacturers, and then carry the inventoryin advance of the potential requirement." Inan industry dealing with millions of parts,inventory specialists such as Aviall canconsolidate multiple users' needs and stockmore items. They often are better atforecasting, too.

"The challenge for many of ourcustomers," Dolanski observes, "is that they are in a very competitive marketfor their own goods and services. As a result, they are unable to invest in therobust forecasting technology they would need to predict demand. Inaddition, they may be severely limited in their working capital investment.Perhaps most importantly, customers and OEMs often find it difficult toroutinely collect and process the vast amount of market information neededto accurately forecast demand. Aviall can do those things well and bring valuein the supply chain, both to the OEM and the customer."

Aviall's eStock electronic inventory management system enablescustomers to manage stock levels for a wide array of products. Productbarcodes scanned by the user as the items are pulled from inventoryautomatically generate restocking orders when stock reaches an establishedminimum, reducing administrative costs and ensuring rapid replenishment.

Perhaps most importantly, customers and OEMsoften find it difficult to routinely collect and processthe vast amount of market information needed to

accurately forecast demand.

EAM9.ps 5/21/13 12:54 AM Page 9



"The eStock system also enablesshelf-life labeling and management,assignment of job- and work-orders toproducts, customer control overrestock orders, and management ofproducts from other vendors. eStocklinks directly to Aviall's Web site anduses real-time inventory and pricinginformation," Dolanski points out.

"We often tell people that we livein the world of 'right now,'" hedeclares. "In fact, more than 90percent of the 5,600 orders Aviallreceives each day are flagged by thecustomer for same-day shipment. Onecould accurately say that Aviall is builtand operated for the purpose ofhaving the right part in the right placeat the right time."

In addition to new parts, Aviall alsooffers a wide array of rotable and

exchange items for most commercial aircraft. Available products run thegamut from actuators to valves.

Aviall also has exclusive distribution agreements regarding certainengines with GE, Rolls-Royce, CFM International, and Pratt & Whitney andlong-term distribution agreements with others, including Honeywell,Hamilton-Sundstrand, Lord, and Champion. Unlike distributors without suchagreements, Aviall can supply original equipment parts.

A STRATEGIC APPROACHFor air carriers such as Southwest Airlines orGermanwings, heavy outsourcing enablesthem to focus on quick turnaround andcustomer satisfaction. Those with heavyinvestment in the capital equipmentnecessary to perform the work may keep itinside - that is, until fleet modernization,combined with attractive packages fromMRO service providers, makes the

outsourcing model more attractive. For now, however, most major operatorsseem to be following an MRO model that includes both in-sourced andoutsourced work.

Clearly, choosing the right strategy for reducing MRO costs ultimatelyshould be based on an air carrier's overall market strategy. Carriers need toask themselves what business they are really in, examine their in-houseexpertise and capabilities, consider the costs and benefits of outsourcingMRO services, and design their offerings and solutions around thoseanswers.

After all, Henry Ford's customers never asked for an automobile, nor didthey ask how it worked or what kept the engine up and running. They simplywanted a better way to go somewhere.

E

90%of the 5,600 orders Aviall

receives each day areflagged by the customer for

same-day shipment.

Those with heavy investment in the capitalequipment necessary to perform the work

may keep it inside - that is, until fleetmodernization, combined with attractive

packages from MRO service providers, makesthe outsourcing model more attractive.

THE GEARED TURBOFANTHE GEARED TURBOFAN

By Magdy S. Attia

EAM12.ps 6/5/13 3:13 PM Page 12


Irecently was having a discussion with my engine design students about

fuel usage in the typical combustion chamber. The thermodynamic facts

have not changed since the inception of jet engines: fuel addition,

deflagration, followed by a rise of total temperature, and with it, total

enthalpy.

Deflagration is the term given to "normal" fuel burning, as opposed todetonation. The difference between the two is the speed of the movingflame front inside the fuel-air mixture: Detonation is a highly supersonicflame front speed, while deflagration is low subsonic. Enthalpy is thecapacity of the resultant gas to do thermodynamic work.

My students and I collectively calculated a normal fuel-air ratio inside thetypical turbofan engine. This figure ranges from 2 percent for very efficientcycles up to 4 percent for aviation "gas guzzlers."

"Such a small number!" exclaimed many of my students. To which, Ireplied, "Then, imagine the impact of a 1 percent savings in fuel usage."Now, that did not sit very well with most of them at first. They demanded,"So? What will 1 percent do?"

To illustrate my point, we left engineering behind for a few minutes andembarked on a purely financial calculation. Let's take a Boeing 777, forinstance. Its estimated fuel burn is roughly 8,000 kilograms (kg) per hour onaverage. For a 15-hour flight, that totals roughly 120,000 kg, or 265,000pounds (lbs). Therefore, at an average density of 808 kg/m3 [1], or roughly 6.7lbs/gallon, a typical 15-hour flight will consume approximately 39,500gallons. Estimated at the price of $3.22/gallon [2], the estimated cost of thefuel used on such a flight is a whopping $127,190 per leg.

Now let's compute the savings generated by a mere 1 percentimprovement in fuel efficiency. In fuel cost alone, the air carrier saves about$1,272 per leg. Assuming that each aircraft flies 200 such legs per year, thesavings for a fleet of twenty aircraft servicing this route would amount tosomewhere north of $5 million per year, and over the life of the aircraft . . .And on it goes.

Notably, this calculation does not take into account what the air carriercan do with the freed-up weight. We are talking about an extra 2,650 lbs ofcargo capacity per leg. Various freighters' Web sites estimate an income of50 cents per pound, so the additional income enabled by the weight savingseasily doubles the figures we just reached for the fuel savings. "Impressivenumbers," was the common conclusion among my students.

So imagine the reaction of the aircraft community when Pratt & Whitneyboldly proclaimed that it achieved a 15 percent fuel savings with the newgeared turbofan (GTF) family of engines. Granted, the first offerings will notbe for the 777, so in absolute dollars, the impact will not be as great. But

even working with scaled-down figures for smaller aircraft, the savings arehuge. Well, "How huge is it?" you might ask.

I asked Michael Winter, Chief Engineer for Technology at Pratt & Whitney, asimple question: "How many geared turbofan engines has P&W sold thus far?"Before I tell you what his answer was, I should share an important fact.

Engine companies, and all manufacturing companies for that matter, have awell developed method for determining the number of units that must be soldto break even. For aviation engines, that number hovers around the 300 mark.Thus, aviation engine companies start actually making money after they havesold their three-hundredth engine, on average. With global competitiveness inthe marketplace, fuel prices, and the now-prevalent power-by-the-hourmaintenance, repair, and overhaul service approach, that breakeven number isgetting progressively bigger. But still, 300 is considered a reasonable estimateby many.

Now, Winter's answer: With Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) enginecertification not yet achieved but on the visible horizon, Pratt & Whitneyalready had sold 3,200 GTF engines of various sizes and thrust capacities tovarious customers. That is where the number stood in early February of thisyear, so who knows how many more they have sold by now.

Well, I do not have a mathematical definition of what a game changer is.But I can recognize huge when it is staring me right in the face.

HOW IT WORKSFuel efficiency is not a fad. Nor is it some newly discovered target that allengineers and designers can now start chasing. It has been an issue ever sincethe first engine was mounted on an aircraft. Many engineers and scientistshave dedicated their lives to pursuing the dream of more fuel-efficient engines.As a matter of fact, I cannot think of a single research and development dollarrelated to aircraft engines that is not somehow, in some shape or form, directlyor indirectly related to improving engine fuel efficiency.

Compressors, turbine blade materials, combustion liners, seals, and so on,whatever part of the engine the technology du jour is addressing, it must relateto fuel efficiency. However, improvements usually come in minisculeincrements. Fractions of a tenth of a percent are notable. So how did Pratt &Whitney produce a massive 15 percent improvement? Well, there is more thanone answer. Let's start with the obvious one, the gearbox.

Early on in the history of jet-powered aircraft, as airplanes grew bigger tocarry more cargo, a corresponding need for higher thrust engines emerged.The simple, single-spool, turbojet very quickly ran up against its natural

limitations, and the industry moved towards the twin-spool turbofanconfiguration.

The twin-spool architecture offers many advantages, not the least ofwhich is ease of startup. Operators start the engine by spinning thesmaller spool (the high-pressure one) first. When the engine developsmore enthalpy (through pressure rise and fuel addition), the second(longer) spool, which carries the fan and the low-pressure turbine (LPT),spins.

Another advantage of this design is the ability to customize the designof the individual components around two spools having differentrevolutions per minute (rpm) values. The fan is comprised of much larger,and thus, heavier, blades; thus, it needs to spin at a much lower rpm thansay, the high-pressure compressor. This lower speed actually serves

many purposes, including reducing stresses on the disk carrying the fanblades, as well as considerably reducing the engine's acoustic signature

(noise output).Noise, or lack thereof, as most of us are well aware, is quickly becoming

the Holy Grail of aviation. However, the laws of physics and engineeringshare one law in common with all the other laws of the known universe (suchas business, psychology, or even sports), and that is, "There are no freelunches." Because the LPT is on the same spool as the fan, it must spin atthe same rpm as the fan. Unlike the case of a large fan, for the LPT, slow isbad, very bad.

To explain this, let's delve a bit deeper into the world of engineering. Theaerodynamic behavior of a rotating component (such as a turbine blade) canbe related to the work produced by it, and later converted to mechanicalenergy, by considering the Euler Turbomachinery Equation, which states:

Where is the total capacity of the gas to do work (total enthalpy), is thecircumferential velocity of the turbine blade. This velocity is simply a functionof the rpm and the radius at which the blade is installed (the distance fromthe centerline of the shaft). represents the circumferential component ofthe absolute total velocity vector of the gas; it can be thought of as afunction of the camber of the blade. Camber is quickly exhausted in thedesign of turbine airfoils, which leaves only the rpm and the radius as theavailable means for the engineer to extract the necessary work.

Lower rpm necessitates an ever-increasing radius, more stages, or (whatnormally happens) both. As fans get bigger (and they will continue to getbigger), they also must get slower. Such is the future for the LPT as well. AsLPTs get slower, they get bigger, heavier, more expensive, and bulkier.

That is the dilemma, until someone comes along, and say, decouples thefan from the LPT. By doing so, the fan and the LPT are freed from their bond,and each can spin at its own optimal rpm rate. That would be slower for thefan, which results in increased efficiency and reduced noise (good), andfaster for the LPT, which results in increased efficiency and reduced size and

number of stages (also good).Another contributor to fuel efficiency is the

aerodynamic design of the fan. A slower speed, enabledby the gearing, has a side effect, in that the solidity of thefan can be greatly reduced.

Solidity is an involved concept, so without goinginto too much scientific detail, suffice it to say that the fanin this geared configuration can have fewer airfoils, as canbe seen in the provided image of a geared turbofan. Tryand look through the fan and see what is behind it.

Now, try that again with the fan of a traditional, non-GTF engine, and you will notice that seeing what is behindit is more difficult. The traditional fan has more "metal," orhigher solidity.

POTENTIAL PROBLEMS AND PITFALLSSo what happened to "There are no free lunches"? Thereare two issues to consider here. The first has to do with anolder engine, namely the Garrett TFE731, also a gearedturbofan design. The second has to do with the reliabilityof this design.

The TFE731, introduced in 1972 and used mainly onsmaller business jets, has logged over 100 million flighthours for the entire family of engines, which numberaround 11,000 engines in operation. If the concept hasbeen around for so long, the question that naturally arisesis, "Why hasn't the geared turbofan concept beenexpanded upon until now?" There are two likely answers.

The first answer is that the magnitude of the savings(as outlined earlier) has been limited due to the size of theTFE731 engine, and thus the financial advantage might not

have been obvious to everyone. The second answer has to do with the sheerpower that needs to be transmitted through that gearbox. It is easily in thethousands of horsepower. Gearboxes being an inherently problematiccomponent, perhaps no one was willing to tackle such a design challengeuntil now.

This brings us to the second issue, reliability. Jet engines in generalpossess a remarkable feature: There is no metal-on-metal contact - except inthe bearings, but they were designed for it. This feature is the single mostimportant contributor to the considerable reliability of jet engines, ascompared to internal combustion engines, for instance. Introducing agearbox brings the inherent problem of metal-on-metal contact into beingonce more. Can the same reliability achieved by the no-metal-on-metalengine be maintained?

Another third, perhaps surprising area of concern, is shipping. Yes, that isright, shipping. The seemingly simple operation of packaging that huge fancase and placing it on an airplane (through a tiny door), in order to ship it tothe airframe maker or as a replacement to a damaged part in the field, canbe a daunting task. In fact, the world record holder, the GE 90's 128-inch fangives shippers nightmares. (The author has had firsthand experienceconsulting on this challenge.)

There currently are only two models of airplanes in the world that canship 128-inch fan cases: the Antonov An-124 and the Short SC-5 Belfast. Ifthe GTF engine is extended to the very large commercial transport market,

with fan diameters bigger than 128 inches, which is highly likely in the nearfuture, shipping the fan case will not be a trivial matter.

THE FUTUREIn the opinion of this author, we are witnessing a significant, once-in-a-lifetimeevent. The industry seems to be at a crossroads, and the bets are rolling in.Pratt & Whitney needs to re-establish itself in the commercial engine market,and the company has placed its bets on the geared turbofan.

At the same time, other companies are pursuing the more traditional routeof higher turbine inlet temperatures, utilizing exotic materials such asceramics and ceramic matrix composites. In addition, there has been newsthat the open-rotor concept, or unducted fan as some like to call it, is underinvestigation once more as well, this time, by Rolls-Royce, working incollaboration with Boeing. A friend and colleague of mine once told me, "Ifyou want to learn something new, read an old book." How true.

Who will win? Well, there are at least 3,200 engine orders in place fromcustomers willing to bet that Pratt & Whitney will. While it is too early to tellfor sure who the winner will be, it is clear that failure is not an option for anyof the big three.

JETS AND THEIR FUEL

By Hank Hogan

EAM18.ps 5/21/13 12:57 AM Page 18

White contrails in the sky could soon be greener - at least environmentally.

After years of development and testing, the aviation industry is starting to

do more than just experiment with burning green fuels. For example, in

March of this year, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines began operating a 25-week, one-flight-a-day,

biofuel-powered demonstration between Amsterdam and New York.

Such sustainable petroleum replacements could cut the carbon footprint of jets by upto 90 percent. But before that happens, costs and other factors have to be addressed.The good news is that those hurdles do not involve the suitability of biofuel as a directdrop-in replacement for high-grade kerosene.

"From a technical perspective, the quality of bio-kerosene is superior to [petroleum] jetfuel. In fact, we see two countervailing trajectories. The quality of petroleum jet fuelseems to be going down, and the quality of bio-jet fuel is going up, or it's inherently

higher," says Darrin Morgan, Director ofSustainable Aviation Fuel for airframemaker Boeing of Chicago.

Morgan attributes the downward trendin traditional jet fuel to two interrelatedfactors: The supply of easy-to-processpetroleum is declining, and refiners have todeal with increasingly heavier petroleum tomaintain production levels. The heavier oilscontain a greater concentration of harderand more expensive to refine out

impurities, such as sulfur. The end result is that the cost pressure on petroleum-basedfuels is upward.

At the same time, biofuels are just beginning down the road to large-scale production,and their costs should be headed down. Thus, looking forward, Morgan is optimistic thatcomparative costs will tilt more and more toward biofuels.

The quality of jet biofuel is no accident, according to George Wilson, Vice Chairman ofthe Aviation Subcommittee in Charge of Emerging Fuels for ASTM (formerly AmericanSociety for Testing and Materials) International. The members of this global standards-setting body studied the situation, and they came to the conclusion that there is reallyonly one type of aviation jet fuel in use worldwide. Consequently, airports do not have thefacilities in place to store and dispense different fuels. Likewise, plane engines lack anymechanism to adjust for the use of locally varying fuels. As a result, the decision wasmade that whatever new fuel came along had to be completely compatible with existingaircraft engine designs and fuel support systems.

"The only way to do that was to make sure that everything that was produced was ahydrocarbon. So while we may begin with triglycerides, we're ending up with kerosene,"Wilson says. Other starting feedstocks might be natural gas, coal, algae, animal fat, orwaste biomass, he adds. After processing, though, the final output has to be kerosene.

In response, ASTM International rolled out its spec D7566. The society currently has twoannexes that document different fuel production pathways. The first appeared in 2009and involves Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, a process that has been around for decades. Coal,natural gas, biomass, and other feedstocks can be used as inputs. The second annex,which debuted in 2011, explores the use of hydroprocessed esthers and fatty acids. Oilsderived from algae and other plants and triglycerides from animal sources are processedfollowing this pathway.

In the works are other annexes that will expand the specifications for alternative fuelproduction pathways. Such supplements should appear every 6 months or so, Wilson


The heavier oils contain a greaterconcentration of harder and moreexpensive to refine out impurities,

such as sulfur. The end result is thatthe cost pressure on petroleum-based

fuels is upward.

says. The exact timing is uncertain,because additions to the specificationsmust undergo balloting and approvalbefore final release.

What's more, engine makersnaturally will want to have samples ofnew candidate fuels to test on theirproducts. However, such samples canbe difficult to obtain in the necessaryquantities for fuels produced throughprocesses that still are undergoingresearch and development.

Currently, the approved fuels are atmost equal mixes of petroleum andalternatives, or no more than a 50percent non-traditional fuel. One of thereasons for this ratio is that biofuels arenot as lubricating as their petroleumcounterparts. Another factor is thatpetroleum fuels better permeate seals,making them swell and therebyenhancing their performance. On theother hand, the addition of biofuels tothe mix improves overall thermalstability, making the fuel a bettercoolant in military and commercial jetengines, as well as other applications.

Some contenders are well past aninitial prototyping stage, according toJim Rekoske, Vice President andGeneral Manager for Honeywell's UOPRenewable Energy and Chemicalbusiness unit. The company, which isbased in Des Plaines, Illinois, suppliesand licenses refining and processingtechnology. Over the years, UOP hasprovided more than a million gallons ofjet biofuel to power more than 300flights worldwide. "The fuel has beentested and proven, so furtherdemonstration flights are notrequired," Rekoske says.

At present, the cost of standard jetfuel runs about $3 a gallon while theequivalent biofuel costs roughly $3.50 agallon in large-scale commercialproduction, according to Rekoske. Thatis a significant difference, given thatfuel is a large portion of airlines' andother aircraft operators' costs.However, this figure for biofuels doesnot include currently available taxcredits. It also does not account for theimpact that a future carbon tax might have.

EAM20.ps 5/30/13 9:26 PM Page 20

When considering the cost of biofuel, it also is important to note thatmore than 85 percent of the final cost for a fuel product comes from the costof raw materials. Most biofuel feedstocks currently are not commerciallytraded on the same scale as petroleum, nor are they readily available in thesame mass quantities. Therefore, market availability and pricing may impactthe end product biofuel price as compared to that of petroleum.

Correcting that situation is critical for attaining price parity, Rekoske says.To help accomplish this, UOP works to bring prospective feedstock suppliersand potential refiners together. For example, it facilitated refiner Valeroteaming up with feedstock supplier Darling International in an arrangementthat has resulted in the construction of a plant capable of producing morethan 140 million gallons of green diesel annually; the plant is scheduled tobegin production later this year.

Another partnership lies behind the GreenSky London project. BritishAirways has committed to buying biofuel from the plant that is beingdeveloped by privately held Solena Fuels of Washington, D.C. The plant willconvert approximately half a million tons of municipal waste annually intoabout 50,000 metric tonnes of jet fuel, an equal amount of diesel, and otherproducts. The plant could be operational by 2015 and should provideenough fuel to power 2 percent of the British Airways flights departingLondon.

Part of the technology supporting the GreenSky project is being suppliedby Oxford Catalysts Group/Velocys. The company's edge lies in its catalystsand microchannel technology, which together pay off in Fischer-Tropschreactors.

"It gives us productivity ten to fifteen times higher than conventional

reactors, and it's better suited to what will be required for distributedbiomass to liquid facilities," says Jeff McDaniel, Commercial Director forVelocys, which is based in Plain City, Ohio.

In the case of the GreenSky project, the cost of the input feedstock isnegative. That is, the facility will be paid to dispose of the material, helpingthe economics of the project. The technology has the added advantage ofproviding environmentally responsible municipal waste disposal. This is amodel that can be emulated in other large urban areas.

A success story is exactly what is needed to get biofuel off the groundcommercially, McDaniel says. The quality of sustainable fuel is good enough,and the economics look promising. But in order to really take off, alternativefuels need a project that proves, on a large scale, that the concept is viable.This proof has to take the form of a plant successfully operating for a givennumber of years. When, and if, that happens, then green fuels will ramp upinto production, McDaniel predicts.

Other companies are working on their own biofuel solutions. Oneexample is AliphaJet, a San Francisco startup. The company's catalyst-basedtechnology, which it plans to license, offers a way to convert plant oils andanimal fats into drop-in jet fuel or other fuels and chemicals. The processconsumes a fifth of the hydrogen of other hydrotreating methods, saysPresident Sanjay Wagle. That low hydrogen consumption enables plants tobe built near where oils are grown and not near where large quantities ofhydrogen are available. The company's process also cuts costs, and theprocess is more tolerant of impurities found in oils and fats, according toWagle. The combination of characteristics leads to an important advantage,he adds.

"We believe that AliphaJet's technology will prove to be among thelowest cost methods of producing drop-in hydrocarbon fuels," Wagle says.He expects AliphaJet's hydrogen-efficient catalytic technology will beavailable on a commercial scale within the next 3 to 4 years.

Another contender, San Diego-based Sapphire Energy uses algae toproduce a substitute for crude oil. This can then be refined into jet fuel, aswas demonstrated by test flights in 2009, says Alice Martinez, CorporateAffairs Associate. What's more, the use of this feedstock to produce biofuelwill not compete with food production. "Algae can be grown on non-arableland and utilize non-potable salty or brackish water," Martinez says.

Sapphire Energy expects to reach a commercial demonstration scale ofproducing 100 barrels a day in 2014. Commercial production, defined by thecompany as 5,000 to 10,000 barrels daily, should be achieved by 2018, if allgoes according to plan.

As for why there is all this interest in biofuels, one reason is that airlineshave a goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 50 percent globally by2050, as measured against a 2005 baseline. Thus, the industry has to findsome way to significantly cut its carbon footprint.

"The goal can only be achieved with the use of biofuels. This type ofbiofuel needs to have a favorable carbon cycle, which generates lessgreenhouse gas compared to traditional fuels produced from oil," saysMauro Kern, Executive Vice President, Engineering and Technology, atEmbraer.

The São José dos Campos, Brazil-based airframe maker is doing its part toachieve this goal and has made a number of test flights. For instance, itworked with engine maker GE Aviation, fuel supplier Amyris, and airline Azulto conduct a test flight to Rio de Janeiro in 2013 for the Rio+20 internationalecology conference.

Another reason why biofuels are attracting interest is that they can ensureenergy supply and price stability. For the airlines, that could make thedifference in maintaining long-term economic viability.

This assumes, of course, that the aviation industry gets first crack at thenew fuel supply. At present, that is not always the case, with groundtransport often winning when it comes toclaiming the currently limited biofuel supply.However, while cars and ground transport canrun on battery or other alternative power,airplanes cannot feasibly do so and thus will bedependent on liquid fuels for decades tocome. This is why some government officialshave called for aviation applications to beprioritized.

Overall, there is reason for optimism when itcomes to the future of biofuels, says SteveCsonka, Executive Director of the CommercialAviation Alternative Fuels Initiative. The group works with all comers toadvance alternatives to petroleum-based kerosene.

Part of the basis for this hope is that entities are working out-of-view onwhat may end up being the needed technology and demonstration projects.The U.S. military, for example, is pursuing renewable fuels and energysources, in part to ease the logistics burden.

When talking about why biofuels make sense, Csonka lists such benefits asa lowered carbon footprint, improved air quality, energy security, price surety,reduced supply disruption, and the extra income it can provide farmers.Together, these advantages can make a compelling case, he asserts.

In summing up, he says, "We typically talk about a group of seven or eightissues [in discussing] why this is really a valuable endeavor. Not the least ofwhich are externally focused benefits, such as enabling rural development,bolstering local economies, and enabling energy independence."

ENGINE FOR GROWTH?

Germany and neighboring nations inCentral and Eastern Europe have beengrowth areas for corporate aircraftmanufacturers and engine suppliers overthe last 4 years. The question is whetherthis growth will continue.

EAM24.ps 5/21/13 1:03 AM Page 24


?

Much of Europe continues to suffer the harsh economic

hangover that has followed the boom years of the early

twenty-first century, yet Germany and several Central and

Eastern European neighbors are enjoying markedly better financial health.

This has driven an upswing of orders for corporate aircraft, benefiting

aircraft engine manufacturers. But is this growth sustainable?

According to figures provided to EngineAir magazine by aircraftmanufacturer Hawker Beechcraft, demand for corporate aircraft increasedby 81 percent in Central and Eastern Europe from 2007 to 2011 ascompared to the number of aircraft delivered to this region between 2003and 2006. In addition, the firm says that 39 percent of these corporateaircraft have been delivered in the last 5 years. As a result, approximately 36

percent of allcorporate aircraftin Europe are nowbased in theregion.

Inparticular, HawkerBeechcraft'sfigures note thatmajor increases indemand have

come from buyers in the Czech Republic, Poland, and Austria. These threecountries experienced increases in corporate jet deliveries of 229 percent,160 percent, and 138 percent, respectively, between 2007 and 2011,compared to the preceding 4-year period. This growth is due to therelatively healthy economic performance of all three countries, in contrastwith the rest of Europe, particularly in the south of the Continent and theUnited Kingdom, where domestic economies remain in the doldrums.

At the same time, deliveries to Germany from 2007 to 2011 experienceda more modest, but still impressive, rise of 62 percent. The country nowboasts the largest European corporate jet fleet with no less than 683 suchairframes.

Put simply, when economic conditions are on the upswing, corporate jetsales increase, bringing corresponding benefits for powerplant providers.While the numbers of engines on a corporate jet can vary - for example, aDassault Falcon-900 is outfitted with three Honeywell TFE-731-5BR-1Cturbofans, while the Cirrus Vision SF50 currently under development byCirrus Design has a single Williams FJ33 powerplant - most corporate jetsare equipped with two engines.

to 2011 as compared to the number of aircraftdelivered to this region between 2003 and 2006.

EAM25.ps 5/21/13 1:05 AM Page 25

BOMBARDIER LOOKS AHEADTo evaluate the significance of such market growth for engine manufacturersin Germany alone, consider the fact that the increase in corporate aircraftdeliveries to this nation represents 209 new aircraft or, based on an averageof two engines per aircraft, the delivery of about 418 new engines to powerthis fleet. Such numbers do not surprise Trevor Lambarth, Sales Director forthe United Kingdom, Ireland, Switzerland, and Scandinavia at BombardierBusiness Aircraft. He observes, "Germany is an economic powerhouse andhas fared quite well (compared to other European economies). This showsthat demand there in particular has been relatively steady."

Bombardier is cautiously optimistic regarding the continuing demand forcorporate jets. According to Lambarth, "The European market for corporateaircraft as a whole is showing signs of recovery, and we are cautiouslyoptimistic that the worst of the downturn is behind us." Assuming ongoingeconomic growth, he expects a major demand for new corporate aircraft tocontinue over the next two decades. "Our 20-year market forecast forEurope predicts that by the end of 2031, new aircraft deliveries for thosesegments in which we compete (principally the light, mid-size, and largecorporate jet markets) will total 3,920 jets."

Bombardier produces the Challenger, Learjet, and Global Express familyof business jets, all of which use two turbofans. According to the company'sfigures, such growth could result in a corresponding demand for up to 7,840engines during the forecast period. Bombardier's estimation breaks this totaldown into 1,780 deliveries of light corporate aircraft (3,560 engines), 1,275deliveries of medium aircraft (2,550 engines), and 865 deliveries of largecorporate jets (1,730 engines).

Lambarth is confident that this demand for aircraft, and thereforeengines, can be sustained. "Certainly, once a firm embracesbusiness aviation, it's very hard to go back to the airlines andthe inefficiencies that come out of being dependent on an

airline's schedule. Europe asa whole will remain thesecond-largest market forbusiness jets, after NorthAmerica. Corporations andindividuals have becomeaccustomed to the efficiencyof a private jet."

That said, he addsthat there are potentialrestraints on market growth.

"A drop back into overall economic recession in Europewould dampen the lighter aircraft end of the market again.However, throughout the recent period of economic distress,the larger end of the market has remained stable."

HONEYWELL'S CAUTIONAndy Gill, EMEAI (Europe, Middle East, Africa, India)Aftermarket Director for Business and General Aerospace atHoneywell Aerospace, a company that boasts a majorpresence in the corporate jet engine market, argues thatdemand has been strong in Germany because of thecountry's geographical position. "A high number of corporateaircraft are based within the country, and Germany has ageographical location close to Eastern Europe. This makes it

an important hub for Russia and the Central European corporate jetoperators."

Nevertheless, Honeywell Aerospace appears both more bullish and morecautious regarding the demand for new business aircraft and, by default,engines to power such aircraft. Published in late October 2013, thecompany's Global Business Aviation Forecast anticipates the deliveries of upto 10,000 business jets between 2013 and 2022.

Interestingly, the forecast predicts that the highest demand for theseaircraft will come not from Europe, but from the so-called "BRICS" nations ofBrazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, which are experiencing strongeconomic growth. Europe, on the other hand, is predicted to exhibitrelatively sluggish growth throughout the company's forecast period. As apoint of comparison, 46 percent of corporate jet operators in the BRICSnations contacted by Honeywell during the drafting of its survey reportedplans to acquired new corporate jets within the next 5 years. The sameresponse was given by 33 percent of respondents in other European nationswho were contacted and 39 percent of respondents in other parts of LatinAmerica.

Reflecting the findings of the Global Business Aviation Forecast vis-à-visthe expected demand for new corporate aircraft in Europe, Gill is cautiousregarding any predicted increase in demand in Central and Eastern Europe.While declining to name particular countries, he warns that service provisionsfor the maintenance of aircraft engines tend to be below average in theseregions, and that local bureaucratic restrictions can make it difficult to sellcorporate aircraft in particular markets. He points out that such factorspotentially could dampen the demand for corporate aircraft engines in thispart of the world, adding, "These issues need to be addressed to unleash

the full potential for significant business aviationgrowth in these regions."

Nevertheless, Gill does see some grounds

Economic downturn notwithstanding, engine manufacturers,optimistic of the continual demand for corporate aircraftaround the globe, are bringing new products to the market. Forinstance, Snecma is developing its Silvercrest engine for largeand long-range jets.

for hope, noting that several engine maintenance providers are based "ingrowth hotspots, such as Moscow, as well as in countries such as theCzech Republic." He points out, "This suggests that the business aviationindustry is building a critical mass in some of these more 'embryonic'markets," as such engine maintenance providers grow to meet localdemand. Away from their home markets, Gill believes that thesemaintenance providers could have an important role to play in providingthe necessary support for corporate jets in such nations as India andRussia, as the use of corporate aviation in these countries increases in linewith their growing economies. "As demand grows in Russia and India, Iexpect that [maintenance providers with bases in] Central and EasternEurope will have an increasingly important role to play in the service andsupport of aircraft flying to and from these markets."

Ultimately, however, Gill is cautiousregarding the continued growth of thecorporate jet market: "In the short term,the business aviation outlook remains flatfor most Central and Eastern Europeancountries." Nevertheless, he adds, "Asthe business opportunities in thesemarkets grow, so too, will the demand forbusiness aviation. Europe has sufferedthrough the downturn, which, in turn, hasmade several companies review theirinvestments and expansion plans in some

areas. It's almost a chicken and egg scenario, in that for business aviationto flourish, you need the infrastructure in place. But for that infrastructureto flourish, there needs to be a strong enough case for companies toinvest."

GROWING POTENTIALWhile there is clear disagreement regarding the likely size of the marketfor corporate aircraft powerplants in Central and Eastern Europe in thenear future, it is indisputable that this region has experienced impressivegrowth in recent years. Whether this growth can be sustained ultimatelywill depend on the health of the domestic economies in the region.

No individual wants to be cast as Cassandra, making dire predictionsthat may not materialize, but there are rarely certainties inmacroeconomics. For example, at the turn of the century, few peoplewould have predicted that the "Celtic Tiger," the nickname given toIreland during the impressive economic growth that began in 1995, wouldhave slipped into a severe recession by 2008.

All that can be said is that, for now, it seems that nations such asAustria, the Czech Republic, Germany, and Poland have been successfulin avoiding the severe economic contraction witnessed in Western andSouthern Europe. Thus, Central and Eastern European countries may verywell continue to experience at least a modest growth in demand forcorporate aircraft engines.



“It's almost a chicken and egg scenario, in that forbusiness aviation to flourish, you need the

infrastructure in place. But for that infrastructure toflourish, there needs to be a strong enough case

for companies to invest."

Flying BikeIt would take an all-new Federal Highway Project to build bike lanesand trails big enough for theFlying Bike or FBike. Measuring8.2 feet wide and 11.5 feet long, itweighs 187 pounds. Its rider'sweight is limited to another 187pounds. In March, the team ofCzech engineers and designersbehind the FBike conducted ashort (unmanned) test flight inPrague. The current version canonly fly for 3 to 5 minutes, and it is really loud. But, it does fly.

The craft consists of a more or less standard bicycle, outfitted withfour horizontal rotors: two for lift at front and back, and two for stabilityat either side. The propellers are powered by 50 kilowatts from electricengines fed by Lithium-polymer batteries stored on the frame. Acompromise had to be made in the suspension. Proper gas-liquiddampers were too heavy, so all that absorbs the impact of landing areoversized tires.

Motorjet

Before information was released about flights of the Heinkel He 178, theaviation world thought it already had seen a jet-powered aircraft, theCaproni Campini N.1. The plane, also called the CC.2, was anexperimental craft built by the Italian company Caproni in the late 1930s totest a new engine based on jet propulsion principles.

Designed by Secondo Campini, the engine actually was a hybrid, todayusually called a motorjet. In this design, an internal combustion enginepowers a rotor to compress intake air. The compressed air is released intoa combustion chamber, where fuel is injected and ignited. The post-ignition expansion creates useful thrust.

The Caproni Campini N.1 flew successfully, though it was big andungainly, requiring a two-person crew; its top speed was around 220 mph.A second plane of similar design also was tested. But it soon becameapparent that the aircraft could perform better on the internal combustionengine alone, and the motorjet experiments were abandoned.

Nuclear PropulsionIn the 1950s, if it was not "nuclear," itwas not anything. Aircraft propulsionwas not to be left behind. From 1946to 1961, the U.S. Air Force and theAtomic Energy Commission exploredthe use of nuclear fission reactors toprovide aircraft thrust.

Two approaches were pursued:direct (General Electric) and indirect(Pratt & Whitney) air cycles. Bothengine approaches depended on asimple idea: nuclear reactors produce an immense amount of heat. Thatheat can be used in place of jet fuel ignition to create the expansionneeded to drive a turbine and propulsive exhaust. In the direct air cycle,the air is drawn through the actual reactor; an indirect cycle employs aheat exchanger. The proposed engines were to be tested on a six-engine,converted B-36 bomber, dubbed the Convair X-6.

But dreams of weeks-long flights of large bombers were not to be, dueto the weight of a shielded nuclear reactor and the improbability ofensuring safety in case of accident. Despite continuing enthusiasm insome quarters, President Kennedy killed the project in 1961. He wrote that"[after 15 years of research] the possibility of achieving a militarily usefulaircraft in the foreseeable future is still very remote." The entire nuclearprogram with associated research spent $7 billion before it was canceled.

Rotating Detonation Engine

Nearly all of the U.S. Navy's propulsion, on the sea and in the air, is suppliedby gas turbine engines. Seeking cost reductions, Navy researchers havepushed pioneering efforts in so-called detonation engines. Much work hasbeen completed on pulse-detonation engines, and now Navy-supportedresearchers are exploring rotating detonation engines.

A detonation engine uses a supersonic shock wave generated down acylinder at thousands of feet per second to compress and detonate a fuel-airmixture, releasing energy more efficiently than in normal combustion, whichoccurs in slow motion by comparison. The rapidly repeating detonationsrequired in a pulse engine create timing and energy-recovery difficulties;however, Naval Research Laboratory scientists are hoping to sidestep suchproblems by having the detonation travel continuously in a circular mannerthrough an annular ring rather than a straight cylinder.

Potentially, the powerand fuel economyachieved with suchdesigns couldsave $300 to $400million inproducingelectricity andpropulsion onships alone. Similarsavings are hoped for infuture aircraft.

Sabre EngineReaction Engines is part of a growing research industry looking forradical improvements to, or replacements for, the conventional jetengine. It is developing a hybrid jet/rocket engine that has receivedsignificant support from the European Space Agency (ESA), which hasaudited tests of key components. Reaction Engines' dream applicationis a reusable, single-stage-to-orbit aircraft. The company's Sabreengine operates much like a conventional jet in the atmosphere andlike a rocket at the upper edge of or beyond the atmosphere.

Liquid hydrogen is used as fuel in air-breathing mode; ambient air isused as an oxidizer. To achieve the desired speed, the air must becompressed to 140 atmospheres, which makes the air hot enough tomelt the engine. This problem is solved by using proprietaryprecoolers (the technology is a closely guarded secret) that can reducethe air temperature from 1,000 degrees C to minus 150 degrees in1/100th of a second, making the air usable.

In the Sabre's conventional rocket-operating mode, liquid oxygen isused. But much smaller quantities are required, because a substantialpart of the desired acceleration already has been achieved

Turbocharger

Sanford Moss knew compression. At age 16,he was earning $4 per week at a shop thatmade compressed air machinery. Graduatingfrom the University of California, he went on toget his doctorate from Cornell in 1903; histhesis was on the principle of the gas turbine.Moss went to work for General Electric at itsWest Lynn plant, working with CharlesSteinmetz and Elihu Thomson. He initially concentrated on thecentrifugal compressors used in blast furnaces and then moved on tosteam turbines.

At the outbreak of World War I, the National Advisory Committeefor Aeronautics sought to find a way to make military aircraft enginesmore powerful. Moss and his colleagues produced the turbocharger, anew design of turbine that compressed the engine's intake air,producing more complete combustion. The device also had a uniqueapplicability to aircraft: it allowed engines to breath normally in the thinair of high altitudes.

An initial test of the device at altitude, atop Pikes Peak at 14,019feet, was a success. By 1921, a new altitude record of 40,800 feet hadbeen set using the turbocharger. Moss had helped GE win the firstmilitary aircraft engine competition in the United States.
