LEAP 71

This is probably one of the most intelligent write-ups on what LEAP 71 and Noyron do. Have a look if you are interested and feel free to say hi if you are the person who wrote it! #ComputationalEngineering

We are very happy to continue our long-standing collaboration with The Exploration Company. TEC will further incorporate the Noyron Large Computational Engineering Model into their own technology stack to build advanced space propulsion systems. https://lnkd.in/gQh34gGz

If you are at #TCTShanghai this week, check out this hypersonic precooler we collaborated on with Farsoon Technologies. Standing 1.5m tall, it's one of the most largest and most complex 3D-printed metal parts ever created. Designed by the Noyron Large Computational Engineering Model without human intervention and without the use of CAD.

We are thrilled to announce our latest collaboration with HBD Additive Manufacturing. After our hot-fire of a 20 kN Aerospike rocket engine last November, we have now successfully produced an engine ten times the size: Delivering 200 kN (20 tons/45,000 lbf) force, this MethaLOX engine is suitable for orbital launchers, especially for fully-reusable upper stages.  Even though the engine stands 1 m in height, it weighs just 120 kg in Inconel 718. — very light for a fully-integrated monolithic vacuum-capable engine. This important manufacturing milestone of the XRA-2E5 Aerospike moves us forward on our development program with Aspire Space, for the fully-reusable Oryx spacecraft, and brings us a step closer to actually testing the engine. Generated by the #Noyron Large Computational Engineering Model, this rocket thruster – like all of our parts – was created without human intervention and without the use of conventional CAD software. It relies on the #PicoGK ("peacock") geometry kernel we open-sourced in 2023. Noyron is written by Josefine Lissner and encodes thermal models, propulsion physics, engineering logic, and manufacturing constraints into a coherent computational system, which generates the design in just minutes. Big kudos to HBD for producing a perfect result in the first build on their massive HBD 800 ten-laser system. You can see the object at TCT Asia in Shanghai next week.

If you are visiting #TCTAsia in Shanghai this March, check out this massive hypersonic precooler we collaborated on with Farsoon Technologies. Standing more than 1.5m tall, this is one of the largest and most complex metal-printed parts in the world. Just a year ago, the production of it would have been impossible. Computational Engineering and advanced Additive Manufacturing enable applications that were not possible before. Visit the Farsoon booth Hall 7.1, 7F05 in Shanghai. Josefine Lissner will give a presentation on the part on March 18th, at 2:30pm.

We build rocket engines using Noyron, our Large Computational Engineering Model. Because Noyron generates multiple engine architectures from the same mission specification, we can directly compare their performance under identical boundary conditions. One particularly interesting case is the aerospike. In theory, an aerospike should outperform a conventional bell nozzle across varying atmospheric regimes. Its altitude-compensating geometry is expected to maintain efficiency from sea level to vacuum. Yet this assumption has rarely been validated in flight — no aerospike has reached space (yet). So what do the numbers say? Can we already observe the expected performance behavior in our test data? And how does a conventional bell nozzle compare when both are derived from the same specification? Josefine Lissner explains.

Great to see a new print of our 200 kN KeroLOX engine design exhibited at TCT Japan this week. Eplus3D Additive Manufacturing did a marvelous job in printing this 1.3m high design, which was engineered by the Noyron Large Computational Engineering Model without human intervention. Noyron replaces CAD with a fully autonomous workflow, which goes from raw spec to finished design, manufacturing instructions, assembly guides, and performance prediction, in one deterministic sequence of computational steps.

Josefine covers a lot of ground in this Dubai One interview which was just released. From our quest to radically accelerate engineering, to our reasons why we set up in Dubai, and how we hope to lay the seeds for a homegrown space launch ecosystem here in the United Arab Emirates. https://lnkd.in/en8rj2nH
