U.S. Air Force reveals development details of its new small turbine engine
12:00 (GMT+0000) November 9, 2019
The U.S. Air Force has revealed details about the development of the new turbine engine that was designed, assembled, and tested exclusively within the Air Force Research Laboratory.
The Air Force Research Laboratory demonstrated a new and ultra-responsive approach to turbine engine development with the initial testing of the Responsive Open Source Engine (ROSE) on Nov. 6, 2019, at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.
The Aerospace Systems Directorate’s ROSE is the first turbine engine designed, assembled, and tested exclusively in-house. The entire effort, from concept initiation to testing, was executed within 13 months. This program responds to Air Force’s desire for rapid demonstration of new technologies and faster, less expensive prototypes.
