Technology

Bladon Jets Turbine Components Division develops and manufactures one piece integrally-bladed rotors (IBRs) and integrally-bladed disks (BLISKs) for use in gas-turbine engines and turbo-molecular pumps and fans for bypass and vertical take-off (VTO) aero engines applications.

One Piece Integrally Bladed

One piece integrally-bladed turbine components can be manufactured in virtually any profile, with varying section, edge radii and taper from root to tip and from any metal/alloy (including: aluminium alloys, nickel alloys, stainless steel and aerospace grades of titanium). Improved performance and efficiency is achieved by closer tolerances and reduced hub to tip ratios. Improved reliability is due to stress free machining from solid material and reduced inertial mass.

Patented Manufacturing Process

Bladon Jets' patented manufacturing process enables the production of axial-flow compressors and turbines in smaller sizes than has previously been possible and can be used to bring about major improvements in performance, efficiency and reliability of any size of gas-turbine engine or turbo-molecular pump. In addition, the process significantly reduces the development time and manufacturing costs for new engines.
