FANBOT (Fan Blade Off Testing)

对于燃气涡轮发动机，TRL6性能的最终验证包括风扇-叶片关闭（FBO）测试。在进行FBO测试之前，在复合风机系统中完成了各个子系统的测试。风扇系统密封和轨道运行测试现在构成了项目的核心部分。因此，FANBOT将完成一系列支持UltraFan(r)技术演示的项目，验证一种新的发动机架构，将劳斯莱斯及其供应链带入后特伦特时代。该项目总成本为12.2英镑，为期60个月，从2020年11月开始，到2025年10月完工。

For a gas-turbine engine, ultimate validation to inform TRL6 capability includes Fan-Blade-Off (FBO) testing. Before the FBO test is undertaken, various sub-system tests are completed in the Composite Fan System. The fan system containment and orbital run-on tests now form the core part of the project. Thus, FANBOT will complete the suite of enabling projects that underpin the UltraFan(r) technology demonstrator, validating a new engine architecture to take Rolls-Royce and its' supply chain into the post-Trent era. The total project costs £12.2 over 60 months, commencing November 2020, completing October 2025.
