The interface between the combustion chamber and the turbine presents major challenges for the engine manufacturers. In addition to the very hot gases, there are also extremely turbulent airflows. These components have so far only been investigated separately. However, this is possible with the new ‘Next-Generation Turbine DAcility’ (NG-Turb) at DLR Göttingen, where the tests were carried out.
