Comprehensive Survey of Micro Turbojet Experimentation: Sensor Technologies, Methodologies, and Research Trends
From advanced research platforms to Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), Micro Turbojet Engines (MTEs) have grown to be essential parts in many different kinds of applications. Extensive testing, encompassing analysis, alternative fuel suitability, performance characterization, and control system validation, supports their development. This survey examines the current state of MTE experimentation, along with information on experimental methods, sensor technologies, and new directions in corresponding research. Measurement techniques, alternative fuel effects, characterization of gaseous and particle emissions, and the utilization of experimental data to validate control systems and sophisticated engine models are among the recent advances in test bed design discussed here. Presenting an overall view, the aim is to highlight current challenges and inspire more MTE technology advancement.
