| Propulsion instrumentation is one of the most pervasive problems shared by aircraft engine companies. Gaining more precise understanding of compressor, combustor and turbine performance is a vital, ongoing challenge.
The Propulsion Instrumentation Working Group cooperatively addresses critical turbine engine-development test instrumentation and sensor issues to keep pace with the expected needs of future gas turbine engine development programs.
OAI is the facilitator for PIWG and manages all funded PIWG projects. In the past two years, the PIWG has successfully developed and tested cutting edge sensor technology for high temperature operation in turbine engine compressors and turbines.
