Research abstract
This proposed effort leverages MiTis DoD and commercial projects that directly address high efficiency, low-cost, small gas turbine engines.The overall objective of this effort is to demonstrate the feasibility of developing a high-speed, oil-free and novel 50 SHP recuperated turboshaft engine.To achieve this overall objective MiTi will investigate different engine configurations that integrate its innovative patented high temperature and high load capacity foil bearings, seals and patented lightweight, low pressure drop and high effectiveness recuperator system in an advanced turboshaft configuration.Design requirements will be established, tradeoff studies will be completed and a candidate configuration selected for further evaluation in Phase II.
