Each researcher presented a paper, giving insights into the latest experimental results at two of our test rigs: Transonic Compressor Darmstadt and Fan Rig Darmstadt. The following articles were presented:

• Silas Mütschard – Aeromechanics Fan Rig Darmstadt: Characterisation of the Aeroelastic Behaviour of a Modern Transonic Fan Blisk Under Flutter Conditions
• Nicklas Kilian – Aeromechanics Fan Rig Darmstadt: Characterisation of the Structural Behaviour of a Modern Transonic Fan Blisk Under Flutter Conditions
• Marvin Rüdel – Experimental Aeroelastic Analysis of a 1.5-Stage Transonic Compressor With Different Structural Mistuning Patterns

Nicklas and Silas presented the results from their first measurement campaign at the Fan Rig, including the stability limit mapping of the first fan rotor and detailed analyses of its aerodynamic and structural behaviour during various fan flutter events.

Marvin investigated the behaviour of three different structurally mistuned configurations of a blisk rotor at the stability limit, which is characterised by the occurrence of convective non-synchronous vibrations and rotating stall.

Congratulations to all three for their excellent contributions and for representing GLR at an event that drives forward the future of turbomachinery research and design. We are proud to see our team engage with leading international experts and share their latest scientific results with the aeromechanics community on this stage.

We would like to thank our partner Rolls-Royce for the valuable collaboration and the Clean Aviation Joint Undertaking for the funding that makes our work possible.
