The Garrett/Ford AGT101 Program has progressed through initial design, fabrication, first generation aerodynamic component tests, and currently is focused on engine test bed development and ceramic component development. Many significant development activities have been accomplished, including successful full-speed operation of the AGT101 Mod I (1600 F) engine to 100000 rpm. A complete set of ceramic static structures, consisting of 49 parts, was assembled and successfully tested in the structures rig to the Mod I(1600 F) design conditions. Many ceramic structures have passed thermal screening tests to 2100 F. A silicon nitride rotor, produced cooperatively by ACC and Ford, has been spin tested at room temperature to 102000 rpm, which exceeds the maximum power design condition. Aerothermodynamic component testing of the first iteration AGT101 (2500 F) turbine design has been completed. Results of these tests show that final program goals have been exceeded in the low-power regime and initial goals have been exceeded at maximum power. The second compressor test has been completed with results showing that design flow and pressure ratio goals have been achieved. Combustion fuel nozzle development indicates that program emission goals are achievable within the program time frame.
