- Additional information
- Fan flutter can be catastrophic. This simple model predicts the effects of engine intake on fan flutter, with potential for reducing the costs associated with engine failure and late re-design. The model has been incorporated into the Rolls-Royce fan blade design system for use in the design of next generation fan blades (Ultrafan). Received 2016 Best Paper award from the International Gas Turbine Institute Technical Committee and prompted further funding from TSB and RR PLC for £1,274,085 (contact: FoEREF@ic.ac.uk). Presented in keynote lectures at four international conferences including IGTC 2019, Tokyo.
