Aircraft Micro Turbine Market Analysis
The aircraft microturbine market is expected to grow with a CAGR of more than 18% during the forecast period.
The global aviation sector has witnessed significant challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Factors such as the implementation of strict lockdown measures, supply chain disruptions, and raw material shortages hinder market growth during the pandemic. The sector has strongly recovered post covid with increasing investments and rising demand for drones for various applications.
An aircraft micro turbine is a small-sized combustion turbine that uses micro combustion to offer cogeneration to utilize heat and electricity at the same time. These are compact in size and utilize a variety of fuels with enhanced efficiency. The microturbine consists of one set of turbine blades and a set of compressor blades. Growing applications of micro turbines for unmanned aerial vehicles and small aircraft are the major factor driving the growth of the market.
The technology provides numerous advantages compared to other technologies for small-scale power generation with a lesser number of moving parts, lightweight, higher efficiencies, capability to utilize waste fuels, and lower emissions. The size of a refrigerator in microturbines has outputs of 25 kW to 500 kW. Most microturbines are comprised of a combustor, compressor, turbine, alternator, recuperator, and generator. Thus, the rising use of unmanned aerial vehicles and small aircraft boosts the growth of the market.
