The tradition of Rolls-Royce three-shaft engines for the large civil market has allowed the optimisation of power extraction through the turbine and improves overall engine efficiency. The three-shaft architecture also brings benefits to three-shaft marine and large military applications. Two shaft turbine designs for corporate, regional and defence applications have been optimised and developed through advanced aero dynamics and materials. This architecture allows an engine to have fewer stages giving a shorter, stiffer structure. An increasingly detailed understanding of the turbine is necessary to produce more fuel efficient engines. Measurements from turbine rigs provide accurate data vital for analysing the complex external and internal air flows in the harsh environment of the turbine. Techniques for taking detailed turbine measurements in a running engine enhance understanding and increase the store of reliable data for computer code validation. The turbine is dependent on three main components being developed and working correctly; the blade, nozzle guide vane and seal segment.
