title = "Fluidic injection thrust reverser system for high bypass ratio turbofan engines: Experimental model",
abstract = "Conventional thrust reversers involve the usage of mechanical blockers which are bulky as they are designed to sustain heavy loads. As a result, they account for 30% of the nacelle weight (excluding the engine core). This added engine weight results in a 0.5%-1% increase in the specific fuel consumption of the aircraft. This paper advances our investigation of {"}Blockerless Engine Thrust Reversers{"}and uses it as an inspiration to optimize the system by designing an injection module (depicting an injection as a bleed from the core flow), conducting a computational analysis and demonstrating the viability of the process by building an experimental model of a 1:40 scale of a GE90-115B engine. A 3D printed experimental model was built after conducting an extensive parametric analysis. This model is used to demonstrate the viability of the {"}Fluidic Injection Thrust Reverser{"}(FITR) qualitatively and quantitatively.",
