Project “LOw POllutant COmbustor TEchnology Programme” GRD1-CT2000-25062 (FP5)
Duration 11/2002 – 12/2004
Brief Description
  1. Definition and validation of technological bases for a new generation of green aero engines.
  2. Study of individual components of combustors and incorporation in a multi-sector or annular combustor representative of large or small engines.
