Hexcel's carbon fiber, structural prepregs, reinforcing fabrics, honeycomb core and engineered parts are used in many applications throughout the 787, particularly in the aircraft's engines and
nacelles, interiors and secondary structures.
Nordam had been producing the
nacelles for Gulfstream's G500 and G600 engine supplier, Pratt & Whitney Canada.
In the present study, we consider a hypothetical
nacelle having dimensions with scaling factor of 1/40 from the real dimensions.
The giant
Nacelle will sit on top of the wind turbine tower behind the blades and contains the mechanism which converts wind power into electricity.
A
nacelle is the structure that surrounds the engine on an aircraft that improves fuel savings, reduces noise and assists in stopping the aircraft upon landing.
It will accommodate a test rig which will conduct performance, endurance and compressed life testing of complete
nacelles up to 15MW.
In a recent example of this Indestructible Paint's IP9189, an intumescent coating developed for aerospace applications, was adopted by an aircraft manufacturer for the protection of engine
nacelles.
Nacelle systems, housings that contain aircraft engines, are critical to the overall efficiency of aircraft, as well as a key area for weight savings and fuel economy improvements.
In his new role Hurpin will oversee Nexcelle's range of technical aspects in developing and producing
nacelle systems for a new generation of integrated propulsion systems that equip commercial airlines and business jets.
The 10-year Prime SolutionsA
nacelle services agreement will be managed through Goodrich's Dubai campus in Jebel Ali, United Arab Emirates, which will provide local support to the fast-growing low-cost carrier based in Sharjah, UAE.
How would they even tackle a fire in the
nacelle of a 470ft high machine, with burning, molten glass fibre from the blades dripping down onto tinder dry grass surrounding the turbine ...
