The first IL-96-400M experimental aircraft in Russia recently entered the final assembly stage, with plans to start ground testing before the end of this year. This passenger aircraft is developed based on the IL-96-300 and uses Aviadvigatel PS-90A1 engines. (Aviation Information Network)
Modern jet engines contain extremely complex high-tech components, which can easily be damaged under high temperature and high pressure conditions. Additionally, foreign objects in the air and some human-made debris can also cause blockages in some internal passages of the engine. Ground personnel generally spend a lot of time and energy maintaining and repairing inside the “precious” engine.Rolls-Royce and staff from the University of Nottingham and Harvard University collaborated to research and develop micro-robots that can enter the engine like small insects, significantly simplifying the time and process of inspection and repair.
SWARM robots, a group of cooperating robots, each with a diameter of about 10 millimeters, can freely enter the engine and perform visual inspections of hard-to-reach areas. These micro-robots will be equipped with cameras to transmit real-time images, allowing technicians to inspect the engine from a computer.
INSPECT robots, these pencil-sized robots will reside permanently in the blade area of the engine, using their cameras to observe and report the condition of the engine blades to headquarters. As permanent “residents,” they must withstand the extreme temperatures inside the engine while recording relevant data. This data will be compared with millions of existing data points to detect damage to the engine blades.
Remote boreblending robots, technical experts can remotely control this robot to complete certain repair tasks, such as repairing damaged compressor blades. Prior to this, the robot only needs to be introduced into the engine.
FLARE, a pair of “snake-like” robots that can flexibly navigate inside the engine, repairing damaged thermal barrier coatings. They are also responsible for transporting swarm robots.
