Rhea-AI Summary
RTX's Pratt & Whitney has achieved a milestone in additive manufacturing by successfully testing a 3D printed turbine wheel for its TJ150 turbojet engine. This breakthrough represents one of the first rotating parts to be 3D printed for engine applications. The TJ150, a compact 150-pound thrust engine designed for autonomous systems and weapons, underwent successful tests at full operating speeds and temperatures, meeting expected life duration requirements. Through a process called unitization, Pratt & Whitney GATORWORKS collaborated with RTX Technology Research Center to reduce the engine's core module parts from over 50 to just a few components, significantly improving production efficiency. The entire design and testing process was completed within eight months using in-house capabilities.
