Leap technology combustor discussion

[Joe Chen]

Dear All
I have doubts about the differences between the two burner types, leap and rich burn, such as speed, fuel consumption, economy, maintenance, thank you

 

[WKTaylor]

I'm pretty sure that LEAP Engine technology is proprietary to CFM.

IF CFM is not forthcoming to You/company, I doubt anyone here can... or would/should... provide any detailed information on this technology.

Non-proprietary literature search is Your only legal avenue for technical or maintenance data.

Regards, Wil Taylor

Just what kind of “doubts” are you inflicted with?

 

[VEBill]

There doesn't seem to be a lack of basic info all over the 'net concerning 'Twin Annular Premixing Swirler' technology (if that's what you're referring to).

It's presumably patented, probably decades ago and likely expired by now. Obviously such patents are on-line, if you have time to find them.

SWComposites: For some reason a number of languages translate the word "question" to "doubt." I think it is from the overlap in using them as synonyms as verbs in "I doubt your motive" and "I question your motive" rather than as not synonyms when used as nouns.

3DDAve, my wife does the same thing. I'm often in hot water that way.
