Future engine concepts will require a radical expansion of the design space and the solution of complex design problems that cannot be realised within the given time frame using today's standard industrial design processes. To achieve the necessary paradigm shift in engine design, a similar paradigm shift in design approach is required.

Sci-Fi-Turbo meets this need by utilising potentials in three fundamental technologies: High Performance Computing, Higher Order Numerical Methods and Artificial Intelligence (AI) / Machine Learning (ML).

The combination is used to implement and demonstrate two key developments:

First, it will establish a highly integrated SRS-based design process for modern CPU/GPU hardware that meets the robustness, accuracy and turnaround time requirements of the industry. The high accuracy of the methodology will also reduce the need for low TRL testing and enable new concepts and extended operating conditions.
