Fuel Efficiency?• Fuel Cost - According to the Air Transportation Association (ATA), fuel is anairline's second largest expense (After Labor)


Engines Manufacturer’s Answer• Consequence:Modify tolerance on rotating parts (blades, vanes, blisks/IBRs)The manual pr<strong>of</strong>iling is no longer sustainable- Requires tolerance 10 times better than before- Difficulty to find skilled operator (less then 10%)- Eliminate injury


Engines Manufacturer’s Answer• Consequence:Increase aerodynamics on blades & vanes (3D design)The manual pr<strong>of</strong>iling is no longer sustainable- Game-changer for the designer: possibility todefine more complex pr<strong>of</strong>ile (3D) to enhance theengine specs- Improve component life by 25 %
