Turbofan manufacturers continue ‘green’ efforts
Turbofan manufacturers are developing cleaner, quieter and more environmentally friendly engines that will meet current and future regulatory requirements.
Turbofan manufacturers are developing cleaner, quieter and more environmentally friendly engines that will meet current and future regulatory requirements. That fact should come as no surprise, since they have been doing this all along as the natural byproduct of efforts to build more fuel-efficient and quieter turbofans for a market that demands nothing less. And they were doing so long before government agencies and environmental watchdog groups began taking such an interest in aircraft propulsion.
"We've been reducing emissions and increasing turbine efficiency for twenty-five years," said Walter Di Bartolomeo, v-p of engineering for Pratt & Whitney Canada.
