Featuring Leo J Veilleux Jr. of Collins Aerospace.
Aircraft engines today benefit from state-of-the-art design processes that minimize weight, make use of advanced materials, and have a shortened design cycle. Modern engineering tools allow design to test, eliminating the need for multiple prototypes.
Critical to this success is a thorough set of requirements, which allows the engineers precise performance and structural analysis, and predict life of the component. Veilleux will discuss how this is accomplished for mechanical and electrical parts common on modern jet engines.
