When a new fleet of Airbus regional jets take off later this year, they will feature something new under their wings: geared turbofan engines. Possibly the most sustainable jet engine ever built, the GTF will use 16% less fuel and significantly reduce CO2 emissions—a breakthrough that was only possible via advances in 3-D–printing technology. Caitlin Oswald led the team that incorporated 3-D printing into the design process, looking at each part of a jet engine to determine if it could be better developed with the new technique. As a result, engineers were able to approach challenges in a completely different way. "They’re able to print a part to scale and hold it in their hand," says Oswald. "They can really understand what it looks like and what the capabilities and limitations are." Next, P&W is considering including 3-D–printed parts in the finished product.
Oswald holds a Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Connecticut. She also holds a Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering - Systems and Mechanics from the University of Connecticut.
