Role Overview
Argive, a division of Alloyed, is currently designing microturbine engines for a range of jet propulsion applications. The system architecture is simple, with outer diameters ranging between 60-240mm considered. The products use additive manufacturing to increase performance compared to state-of the-art incorporating complex designs and proprietary high temperature materials, including nickel superalloys. The engines also have a consolidated part count and can be manufactured and scaled cost-competitively in the UK on Alloyed’s assets.
