Advanced Combustion Controls for Gas Turbine Engines

Do you want to reduce the NO_x and soot emissions from aircraft engines and gas turbines used for ground power generation? Or maybe you would you like to reduce engine response times, for example to improve a backup control system that can safely land an airplane using only the thrust of its engines should the primary flight controls fail. These goals and many others can be achieved by implementing advanced combustion control approaches. Professor Jerry Seitzman and his colleagues at the Ben T. Zinn Combustion Laboratoryof the Guggenheim School of Aerospace Engineering are developing this technology, and one example is detailed in this brief overview click here.
