Abstract: A repair system for gas turbine engine components includes a computer system configured to receive a set of measured parameters for each gas turbine engine component in a plurality of substantially identical gas turbine engine components, and determine a variation model based on the set of measured parameters wherein each of the gas turbine engine components is an as-run component and has been exposed to a substantially identical general wear pattern. The computer system includes at least one simulated engine model. The simulated engine model is configured to determine a predicted operation of each gas turbine engine component in the plurality of substantially identical gas turbine engine components. A correlation system is configured to correlate variations in the set of parameters for each of the gas turbine engine components in the plurality of substantially identical gas turbine engine components with a set of the predicted operations of each gas turbine engine component in the plurality of substantially identical gas turbine engine components, thereby generating a predictive model based on the variations. A repair module is configured to generate a repair formula based on the predictive model. The repair formula is configured to receive a set of measured parameters of an as-run gas turbine engine component and determine a suggested repair capable of repairing the as-run gas turbine engine component.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a primary flowpath fluidly connecting a compressor section, a combustor section, and a turbine section. A heat exchanger is disposed in the primary flowpath downstream of the turbine section. The heat exchanger includes a first inlet for receiving fluid from the primary flowpath and a first outlet for expelling fluid received at the first inlet. The heat exchanger further includes a second inlet fluidly connected to a supercritical CO2 (sCO2) bottoming cycle and a second outlet connected to the sCO2 coolant circuit. The sCO2 bottoming cycle is a recuperated Brayton cycle.

Abstract: Systems and methods for aircraft ice detection and mitigation. The system for aircraft ice detection and mitigation may comprise a controller, and a tangible, non-transitory memory configured to communicate with the controller, the tangible, non-transitory memory having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the controller, cause the controller to perform operations comprising receiving, by the controller, a video signal from a first data, mapping, by the controller, the video signal to a discriminative feature space in response to a mapping function, generating, by the controller, a first extracted feature in response to the mapping function and the discriminative feature space, generating, by the controller, a behavioral model in response to the first extracted feature, and determining, by the controller, an icing condition of the aircraft in response to the extracted feature and the behavioral model.

Abstract: A method for designing a material for an aircraft component includes training a neural network to correlate microstructural features of an alloy with material properties of the alloy by at least providing a set of images of the alloy to the neural network. Each of the images in the set of images has varied constituent compositions. The method further includes providing the neural network with a set of determined material properties corresponding to each image, associating the microstructural features of each image with the set of empirically determined data corresponding to the image, and determining non-linear relationships between the microstructural features and corresponding empirically determined material properties via a machine learning algorithm, receiving a set of desired material properties of the alloy for aircraft component, and determining a set of microstructural features capable of achieving the desired material properties of the alloy based on the determined non-linear relationships.
