The NATO STO Collaboration Support Office and the Applied Vehicle Technology (AVT) Panel will hold a Research Specialists' Meeting on "More Electric Gas Turbine Engines for Aircraft, Rotorcraft and UAVs". The in-person meeting (AVT-374) will be held in Ottawa, Canada from 21-22 May 2024. 

The meeting is open to citizens from NATO Nations and Partners. Please note that this is an in-person only event (hybrid/virtual attendance is not possible).

This registration is for individuals who are attending the AVT-374 Research Specialists' Meeting held in conjunction with 53^rd AVT Panel Business Meeting.   

The registration deadline is 19 April 2024.

Objectives:

This meeting aims to promote the exchange of knowledge among an audience of experts and specialists on current practices and research on electrification of gas turbine engines for aircraft, rotorcrafts and UAVs.

In more precise terms, the electrification of gas turbine engines for aircraft, rotorcraft and UAVs will be detailed along the following lines:

• Why is electrification of some engine sub-systems so useful at the level of the engine and of the aircraft?
• What makes that electrification of some sub-systems is so important in new engine and aircraft configurations (as, for example, the so-called ventless bearing chambers or in geared turbofans)?
• Which sub-systems are the most useful to be electrified? Describe some of these applications and quantify the advantages.
• Analyze and study in detail some of these more electric sub-systems (power generator and conversion systems, electrically-driven fuel and oil pumps, electric de-oilers, new engine sensors, power generation components present in the oil system, health monitoring systems, EMA)

This meeting will allow the definition of quantified advantages brought by these (more) electrical sub-systems at engine and aircraft level, with contributions intended to a better exchange of state-of-the-art knowledge and future aero-engine developments, and the impact on NATO S&T priorities.
