... such as fans, compressors, combustors, and turbines, as well as the sub-systems including engine seals. Advanced engine seals show significant promise for improving the engine pressure ratio and cycle temperatures, which result in lower engine weight, stronger thrust, and higher fuel efficiency. We propose...
