Advanced Aircraft Compressor System from BGA Segment with Altitude Capability of 45,000 Feet

The Project will develop a global product innovation in the form of an innovative new generation compressor module for turboprop aircraft in the Business and General Aviation (BGA) segment. This innovation will enable the operation of a turboprop engine with a power of up to 1311 shp at an altitude of 45,000 feet, previously unavailable for BGA aircraft. It will enable lower fuel consumption compared to the competition (and consequently reduced emissions) and stable engine operation using SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel). This will be the first product of this class to allow flights at such an altitude, thus creating a new market. In addition, the Project result will be used in aircraft used to transport rescue teams, medicines or other critical loads for human health, such as organs for transplantation. The Project will be implemented by GE Aerospace Poland (hereinafter: Company, Applicant, GEAP), employing a team of highly qualified specialists in the field of modern aircraft propulsion technologies. The Project result will be directly implemented in new generation engines in the BGA segment. The Project result will be implemented by granting a license on market terms to an entity from the GE Group, which will be responsible for introducing the engine with the compressor developed within the Project to the market. The implementation of work on the product innovation also provides a unique opportunity to develop a process innovation on a global scale. It will take the form of software using artificial intelligence for automatic vibration analysis of compressor module parts. The innovation will be implemented in GEAP's own activities and will support the work of engineers on new products, improving the efficiency and quality of work. The project concerns the development of eco-innovation and digital innovation, which will contribute to building climate neutrality in the aviation industry and the development of modern digital solutions.
