High temperature operation

Abstract

AS PART OF its research programme Rolls‐Royce has recently run an experimental jet engine at combustion outlet temperatures exceeding 1800°K — well above the temperatures used in production engines. The high‐temperature technology demonstrated can be applied to new engines and to increase the power output of later versions of engines now in service.
