CENTRELINE s target is to mature the technological key features of the Propulsive Fuselage Concept to TRL 3-4. The core of the research is formed by two experimental test campaigns supported by comprehensive numerical simulation and integrated multidisciplinary design optimisation techniques addressing the turbo-electric powertrain and the overall aircraft. The test campaigns include wind tunnel testing of the overall configuration through a modular scale-model as well as aerodynamic rig testing for the boundary layer ingesting fuselage fan. Fuselage wake-filling propulsion system Under-wing podded geared turbofan Planetary gear system Fuselage Fan S-Duct Gas turbine engine FP7 DisPURSAL (mechanically driven fuselage wake-filling) Paradigm shift THE CENTRELINE PROJECT MISSION Wind tunnel TU Delft The CENTRELINE project aims at maximising the benefits of aft-fuselage wake-filling under realistic systems design and operating conditions. CENTRELINE performs the proof of concept and initial experimental validation for a highly promising propulsion-airframe integration approach, the Propulsive Fuselage Concept. The concept realises fuselage wake-filling through a turbo-electrically powered fan, installed at the fuselage aft-end with the purpose to entrain and re-energise the fuselage boundary layer flow.
