FibreSense is a collaborative research programme to develop on-engine sensing capability using novel Fibre-optic technologies. Initially considering bay monitoring for overheat and fire protection applications this technology development and evaluation programme is envisaged to provide higher resolution data compared to incumbent technologies enabling improved life/ failure diagnostics and reduced in-service events. Through this programme the partners aim to develop joint technology roadmaps to explore future opportunities for technology exploitation in health monitoring and propulsion system control.

"In response to increasing environmental improvement targets and fierce civil aviation marketplace competition, Rolls-Royce has responded by pioneering a revolutionary new UltraFan engine architecture, designed to deliver required power in the most efficient way. The ARCT project will de-risk new measurement technology and instrumentation hardware for an UltraFan demonstrator and confirm the demonstrator as a viable experimental asset for ground based testing in the UK and established a baseline for future applications. Project cost is £26.3m for which £13.1m of grant funding is being requested. The project duration is 33 months, starting in August 2018 and completes April 2021\. ."
