Welcome to deltaBurn!
“Your work could well be the greatest change in propulsion efficiency in the history of atmospheric flight. *
Through the application of an elegant, aerodynamic alteration to the flow around propellers, rotors and turbofan blades, deltaBurn achieves extraordinary changes to propulsive efficiency. Double-digit changes.
When we do what we do, the thermodynamics of the engine core are not altered; we only change the efficiency of the propulsion disk. This change results in achieving normal, rated thrust levels at a much lower power output (torque) from the powerplant which is driving a propeller, or a rotor or a fan. This lower power requirement translates into lower fuel burn and emissions, and also results in lower heat rejection losses and lower stresses on the propulsion disk and the engine core itself.
Our technology sits at TRL 7-8, depending on how that scale is interpreted. We’ve started bringing this technology to market in the form of Supplemental Type Certificates (STC) for airlines and operators of both turbofan-powered or propeller-powered aircraft. Our initial STC will be for the SA226/TPE331 Merlin turboprop, which is well under way. In addition, we’re ramping up for the BAe146/LF507 and CL600-CRJ200/CF34 platforms. Our STC programs are live with FAA.
Who is this for?
Our aim is to help reduce global aviation emissions by a significant, step-changing amount; support SAF adoption by significantly reducing global requirements; significantly reduce operational costs for aircraft owners and operators. We intend to license our STCs to any interested user. Decarbonization as a Service.
What proof do you have of your claims?
The video clip below shows one of our high-speed ground runs of well over a year back, where we modified the left engine of our 1124A/TFE731 Westwind flight test aircraft with our unique application. There’s a lot more where that came from, different aircraft types, different engine types.
Pay particular attention to the engine stack. The numbers are impressive.
