2 Preview AADC/My Background Project Statement Methodology Results Summary, Reflections, and Recommendations Questions 2

3 My Background Born Cincinnati, OH ( 81) Raised Indianapolis, IN (since 84) School Purdue School of Science / Purdue School of Eng. & IUPUI Degree BPMME (BS Physics / MS Mech. Eng.) Graduate Fall 2006 (just started sr. year) 3

4 Company Background Where they are At Rolls-Royce Corporation, Indianapolis, IN IUPUI AADC Rolls-Royce Corp *Map from 4

5 Company Background What they are AADC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Rolls-Royce What they do Develops and demonstrates technology for advanced gas turbine engines, components and propulsion systems. Focuses on advanced turbopropulsion technology for future generations of air vehicles. High Performance Gas Turbine Engines Inlets Nozzles Infrared Suppressors Turbopumps Thermal Protection Systems Expendable Missile Engines Heat Exchangers *Quotes from & JSF Lift Fan 5

6 Project Statement Support design engineering in... Creating Engineering Memorandums (aka EM) for part reworks Publication of assembly instructions Review of detail drawings Other projects Average surface temps on Combustor Compressor Rotor Knife Seal Clearances 6

7 Methodology.1 Primary programs I worked on JETEC (Joint Expendable Turbine Engine Concepts) ATEGG (Advanced Turbine Engine Gas Generator) Compressor case rework (JETEC) Previous EM for part Wrote rework instructions Created measurement sheets Published 2 EMs (RRC/AADC) XTC 76/2 Seal clearance project (ATEGG) Calculated hardware seal gaps Compared blueprints / measured values Wrote a report showing process and presenting results ( TDR ) 7

8 Methodology.2 Assembly Instructions Assisted with proofing parts list Made measurement sheets (instructions) Detail Drawings Created 2D cross-sections from 3D models Deleted old parts from GA Inserted new parts into GA Project Tools Notebook UniGraphics Word PowerPoint Excel JETEC 8

9 Results 3 technical documents JETEC XTL-17 Compressor Case Rework (EM) JETEC XTL-17 Drawing Number Change (EM) ATEGG XTC 76/3B Compressor Knife Seal Clearances Rotors 3 and 4 (TDR) Updated cross-section parts (~10) Lightened load for design group 9

10 Summary Gas turbine engine knowledge High-quality engineers from various disciplines Two-day engine familiarization class (AE 2100D3) Indy Academy (15 classes) Training for potential hire Exposure to engineering and many career options available What I like/don t like Classes to focus on 10

11 Reflections / Recommendations Other things I learned... Ask questions while digging into the problem Find out who knows what Engineering lingo & standards Recommendations Co-op/Internship is a valuable experience Networking Foot in the door for full-time employment after successful completion of co-op I don t know anything. I just know a lot of people who know a lot of things. 11

12 Thanks Thanks to Dawn Andrus (AADC supervisor) Jay Snellenberger (RRC co-op dept) Elaine Lawrence (RRC co-op dept) Dr. Akay And many others......for support and an enjoyable/educational session. 12
