Such enhanced modeling and simulation capabilities held the potential to dramatically accelerate future product development cycles and could provide GE with new insights
into turbine engine performance earlier in the design process instead of after testing physical prototypes.

A turbocharger, or colloquially turbo, is a
turbine - driven forced induction device that increases an internal combustion
engine's efficiency and power output by forcing extra air
into the combustion chamber.
In some
engines, especially for
turbine engine blade cooling and liquid rocket
engine cooling, fuel is used as a coolant, as it is simultaneously preheated before injecting it
into a combustion chamber.

The turbocharger compressor housing had four vanes made from heat resistant Inconel alloy surrounding the
turbine wheel (on the inlet side of it) that would fluctuate based on
engine load and transmission gearing above 2,000 rpm to allow for increased airflow
into the
engine as needed.
