The development of advanced single engine aircraft with reduced stability and 'Fly-by-Wire' control systems requires the provision of emergency hydraulic and electrical power from a stored energy system. The desire to achieve this objective using readily available fluids of low toxicity has led to the development of a methanol-oxygen burning combustor to provide a hot gas stream to drive a small turbine. The paper describes the performance of a 300 kW output combustor which is cooled by the methanol consumed.
