Revolutionizing Efficient Aircraft
Turbotech provides efficient and sustainable flight solutions with high-powered, low-consumption propulsion systems to the light aircraft industry. To power the eco-friendly propulsion systems, Turbotech first incorporated Ansys simulation to optimize their heat exchanger technology and continues to integrate Ansys’ tools to power their pioneering regenerative turbines and subsequent products. This includes the first low fuel burn turboprop, the first turbogenerators for hybrid-electric aircraft, and forthcoming hydrogen-powered turbomachinery. In this video, members from the Turbotech team explain how Ansys is helping them achieve their goals.
“You need the right simulation tools to get the most optimized design, and without Ansys, we would never have been able to design a compressor wheel with high aerodynamic efficiency and know how it could behave in terms of vibration. The biggest challenge is to get an efficient, user-friendly tool to help you with your design. Once you master the theory, then you get into practice, and you need the proper tools to help you.”
