The institute will also expand the current technology base and develop new additives and fuel / combustion technologies for advanced aircraft and aerospace systems, during the programme.
The programme will follow objectives such as investigating analytical and diagnostics technologies for fuels, additives and combustion processes; advanced / alternate fuels development, evaluation, demonstration and management; and advance affordable fuel / combustion additive technologies.
Other programme objectives will include support alternative fuel development, materials compatibility, modeling and simulation, technology integration and demonstration for thermal management, and fuel system operability, supportability and maintainability.
