Research abstract
Not Available UAV Micro-turbine technology recently patented by SWB Turbines and implemented in precious flight-weight turbojet engines at SWB Turbines is adapted for use in turboprop configuration. A centrifugal compressor and radial-inflow turbine provide the core to a turboprop engine, With components derived from low-cost (<S400/set), already commercially produced rotating components. Technology proven in precious flight-weight turbojet cycles at SWB Turbines include high-swirl combustor technology, bleed-flow cooled bearings, patented injector technology, engine construction and production methods, closed loop engine controls with health monitoring, and low-cost components such as diffusers and turbine inlet caning. On-site experience myth other Outrider and other flight systems contribute to trio potential Micro-Turboprop Engine (MTE) configurations a sidewinder system with a free-turbine normal to the gas generator core. and an inline version' each Pith a high-speed gearbox. Flight-weight of the MTE engine is estimated to be at or below 50 lb., for a 90 hp engine. The innovative adaptation of existing SWB Turbines art, combined with recently patented micro-turbine technology make this effort an aggressive combination of cycle analysis, preliminary engine design, and an optional phase I demonstration of a sub-scale micro-turbine with a gearbox demonstrator. BENEFITS: Civilian aviation has seen a resurgence in sales volume both in experimental aircraft and aero engines. SWB T
