Transparent Engines at Rolls‐Royce: The Application of High Energy X‐ray Technology to Gas Turbine Development

Abstract

One of the most frustrating aspects of gas turbine engineering since the work of Whittle has been the inability of the designer and development engineer to see or visualise the behaviour of components within a jet engine on test.
