Overview
Background & policy context:
Due to continuous efforts through past and ongoing European projects, lean combustion by means of internally staged injectors now appears to be the promising technology for obtaining the required emission reductions compatible with a sustainable growth of aviation transport. (cf ACARE 2020)
Objectives:
The TECC-AE objective was to address these issues and to develop staged lean combustion technologies with a proven viability to reach 80% reduction of NOx emissions.
Methodology:
Up to now, lean combustion has been realised by means of classical injection system and combustors mainly by changing the air flow split while the combustor architecture has been kept unchanged. The TECC-AE project addresses these issues.
