This project was a whitepaper engineering design study that I did for myself to explore the potential of an ultra-high bypass turbofan engine with a hybrid combustion chamber. For this project, I did a full-up thermal cycle analysis, CAD modeled all the components, and completed a first pass structural analysis of the parts using hand calculations and static FEA.
The intent of the design was to develop an engine that could be used at extremely high altitudes intermittently for station keeping or low-thrust primary propulsion using hybrid combustion.
