2003年吸气式推进技术的进展

Development of Air-breathing Propulsion in 2003

2003年是人类历史上实现有动力飞行的第100年;;在这一年里;;世界吸气式推进技术取得了巨大发展。其中;;最重大的事件之一是A380的领先发动机遄达900发动机首次试验即达到了取证推力;;GE90-115B涡扇发动机取得了FAA型号合格证。另外;;欧洲和北美的重要航空发动机技术计划继续取得成功。同时;;超燃冲压发动机技术取得了重要进展;;航空喷气公司和普·惠公司的发动机地面试验都达到了重要的里程碑。

Significant air-breathing propulsion advances were made in this 100th anniversary year of manned powered flight. Highlights included that the Trent 900, lead engine for the Airbus A380, achieved certification level thrust during its first sequence of testing and GE90-115B turbofan received FAA certification. In the mean time, important engine technology programs continued to success in Europe and North America. And significant progress was made in the development of hypersonic propulsion systems, with Aerojet and Pratt && Whitney both accomplishing important ground test milestones.
