Integrated Core Technologies (iCORE)

燃气涡轮机技术在减少燃料燃烧和航空旅行对环境的影响的驱动下迅速发展。为了保持英国作为世界领先的飞机推进系统生产商的地位，需要不断研究和开发新的和新颖的发动机。该项目是一个相关的航空航天技术发展的集合，重点围绕民用燃气涡轮机发动机的核心，其共同主题是减少发动机的总燃油消耗。这些发展的目标要么是直接影响燃料燃烧的新技术，要么是通过对这些技术的物理特性的基本理解，以便在未来的设计中加以利用。

Gas turbine technology is developing rapidly in the drive to reduce fuel burn and the environmental impact of air travel. To maintain the UK’s position as the producer of world leading aircraft propulsion systems requires continual research and development of new and novel engines. This project is a collection of related aerothermal technology developments focused around the core of a civil gas turbine engine with the common theme of reducing overall engine fuel burn. These developments target either new technology that impacts fuel burn directly or via developing a fundamental understanding of the physics of those technologies for exploitation in future designs.
