OPEN FAN ENGINE ARCHITECTURE FOR NEXT GENERATION SMR
C. Diette, Safran Aircraft Engines, France
The Clean Sky 2 programme is supporting a Technology maturation plan through modules & rigs ground demonstrations to prepare the design of a scale 1 Engine Ground Test Demonstrator. Multiple maturation studies have been performed to identify and select an innovative engine architecture capable to achieve 20% of CO2 reduction. The key features of the GTD Engine will include a large open fan with a variable pitch, an integrated gearbox, a high speed booster and a high speed low pressure turbine. Clean Sky 2 is contributing to the preliminary design phase of the GTD Engine with the aim to validate the new engine architecture and the Low Pressure Modules.
