For a gas-turbine engine, ultimate validation to inform TRL6 capability includes Fan-Blade-Off (FBO) testing. Rolls-Royce plc will lead FANBOT to deliver that test along with the pre- and post-test analysis ensuring post-event engine structural integrity. Related to FBO are the fan system containment and orbital run-on tests that are also part of the project. Thus, FANBOT will complete the suite of enabling projects that underpin the UltraFan(r) technology demonstrator, validating a new engine architecture to take Rolls-Royce and its' supply chain into the post-Trent era. The total project costs £34.5M over 48 months, commencing June 2020, completing May 2024\.
