More than ten years after we established the Combustion, Acoustics and Flow Physics (CAPS) Lab at ETH Zurich, it is hosting pioneering experiments, where we manipulate combustion inside jet engines using sound. The results are helping to shape the first generation of hydrogen engines. Our busy CAPS laboratory typically has around 15 researchers and up to eight projects running, investigating combustion, fluid dynamics and acoustics using test rigs and high-power computers.

Electra has completed powered wind tunnel testing for its nine-passenger EL9 Ultra Short hybrid-electric aircraft at MIT’s Wright Brothers Wind Tunnel, with the results confirming the blown wing design delivers the high lift needed for take-off and landing in 150ft, the company said. Using a 20% scale model of the EL9 wing, the tests demonstrated lift coefficients greater than 20, which is seven times greater than the 2.5-3 range typical of unblown wings.
