GT50 Engine Progress: Turbine Blade Casting & Combustion System

We're excited to share the latest developments, including the production of the final components for our direct drive starter generator unit, and the nearing completion of the power management unit design.

28 Jun 2024

Watch as we detail the progress on the speed reduction toolbox, the drivetrain components, and the intricate work on turbine blade casting and heat treatment processes. We're also thrilled to highlight advancements in our combustion system, from optimising fuel spray nozzles to perfecting the fabrication of the annular sheet metal combustion liner.

Get an inside look at the meticulous process of developing state-of-the-art casting methods and the setup of new mould heating furnaces at PC1. With upcoming casting trials in Germany and the extension of our combustion test rig, we're on the brink of having all GT50 elements ready for the test bench.
