GT50 Gas Turbine Program - Mechanical Design

Dynamiq Engineering Limited (Dynamiq) is a specialist engineering company providing advanced finite element analysis (FEA) and product development. We provide affordable access to world-class mechanical, structural and fluid engineering services to companies of all sizes in any sector of the industry.

Founded in 2005, Dynamiq has grown into an agile and internationally respected company, routinely covering a broad spectrum of projects. Project scales vary from those taking just a few hours to complex long-term design, simulation or full product development engagements.

Dynamiq wants to develop a small gas turbine for a general aviation application and seeks a Tenderer that has experience in the mechanical design of rotorcraft gas turbine engine systems, detailed heat transfer and lifing methods and control system development to support our washed component development team. Ultimately the engine will be incorporated into a new helicopter design.

The simple-cycle, single-shaft engine comprises a single-stage centrifugal compressor, combustor and 2-stage uncooled axial turbine and is electronically controlled. In addition to the compressor, the turbine provides power to the helicopter main rotor via a reduction gearbox and clutch arrangement.

The contract will require a close working collaboration between Dynamiq Engineering, the turbomachinery team and the successful tender of this contract. In order to achieve this it will be necessary for the successful tender to supply the appropriate member of staff to work at Dynamiq's premises.
