Top level objectives

Air traffic and impact on the environment Global air traffic is forecast to grow at an average annual rate of around 5 % in the next 20 years. This high level of growth makes the need to address the environmental penalties of air traffic all the more urgent. Consequently, Europes aviation industry faces a massive challenge to satisfy the demand whilst ensuring economic, safe and environmentally friendly air travel. Therefore, alternative engine configurations need to be researched in order to achieve a significant and durable reduction of pollution. New engine core configurations with heat management and active systems as well as advanced combustor technology will be developed under the EU integrated programme for NEW Aero engine Core concepts (NEWAC) to reduce CO2 and NOX emissions.

The Challenge

NEWAC The Project Previous technology programmes have already identified concepts and technologies to achieve the ambitious environmental targets set by the Advisory Council of Aeronautical Research in Europe (ACARE). Innovative core configurations will be developed and validated under the NEWAC programme to strongly reduce CO2 and NOX emissions. These concepts will use heat management (intercooler, cooling air cooler, recuperator), improved combustion, active systems and improved core components. NEWAC will design and manufacture these innovative components and perform model, rig and core tests to validate the critical technologies. 40 partners from the European leading engine industry, the engine industry supply chain, key European research institutes and SMEs with specific expertise will jointly develop new aero engine core technology under the 71 M programme of which 40 M are funded by the EC. The following four core concepts will be investigated: Active Core with active systems applicable to a geared turbo fan using a PERM combustor. Flow Controlled Core using a PERM or a LDI combustor applied to conventional or new engine architectures. Intercooled Core for a high OPR engine concept based on a 3 shaft direct drive turbo fan (DDTF) with a LDI combustor. Intercooled Recuperative Core for the intercooled recuperative aero engine concept (IRA) operated at low OPR and using a LPP combustor concept.

Active Core Active systems open up a new area of technological opportunities. They offer the possibility to adapt the core engine to each operating condition of the mission. An active cooling air cooling system will be investigated as well as an active clearance control system and an active surge control system for the high pressure compressor.

Flow Controlled Core Flow control technologies offer new opportunities to achieve an increase in high pressure compressor efficiency, additional surge margin and reduced in-service deterioration. Tip flow control technologies including tip injection, aspiration, advanced 3D aerodynamics, air aspiration as well as blade/casing rub management will be investigated.

Innovative Combustor Technology All promising approaches towards significant NOX emission reduction are based on lean premixing combustion technology. Three different lean combustion concepts, operating at different overall pressure ratios will be investigated under NEWAC.

Engine Overall Pressure Ratio

Intercooled Core The introduction of an intercooler to a core configuration permits very high overall pressure ratios to reduce fuel burn and NOX formation. Research will be performed on the intercooler and the related ducting and on specific high pressure compressor technologies that are needed to react to the increased operability needs in the compression system.

Intercooled Recuperative Core This concept exploits the heat of the engine exhaust gas and maximises the heat pick up capacity of the combustor inlet air by intercooling in front of the high pressure compressor. The results of the EEFAE-CLEAN technology programme showed potential improvements from optimising the recuperator arrangement and operating the radial compressor in new design area.

Expected results NEWACs main result will be fully validated novel technologies enabling a 6 % reduction in CO2 emissions and a further 16 % reduction in NOX. All new configurations investigated under NEWAC will be compared, assessed and ranked regarding their benefits and contributions to the global project targets. As a result, NEWAC will identify the technology routes to environmentally friendly and economic propulsion solutions. If you want to read more about the programme go to www.newac.eu.
