Overview
This year’s Aerospace Division lecture will examine the design and performance of the tri-national Panavia Tornado RB199, its component technologies and highlight the successes that have led to its enduring service.
Presented by experienced aviation propulsion engineer Jim Quinn FIMechE, this lecture highlights the requirements of the RB199 design and its performance, including HPTurbine, reheat, and control system technology embedded within a very successful aircraft. Some performance data will be shown, identifying medium bypass ratio for preference, along with HP Turbine design highlights, manufacture, cooling, and aerodynamic data.
Join this technical lecture to learn about:
- Design requirements
- Performance requirements
- Tornado Aircraft Sizing
- High Pressure Turbine technology
- Control System
- Reheat Technology, including short tailpipe technology, open loop control
- Insights into military engine design
- Considerations of the trade offs
- A display of some of the hardware
This event is free to attend, book your place via this website to join this in-person or online.
This is a hybrid lecture: attendees will be able to join this technical lecture at the IMechE's headquarters at One Birdcage Walk in London or via the online livestream. Limited places are available to join in-person, so early booking is strongly recommended.
