A new generation of LOX/Methane engines are under development, and many have used Philtec’s FODS (Fiber Optic Displacement Sensors) for rotor dynamics measurements in the testing phase. Fiber optic probes are an ideal sensor choice in these applications where they are exposed to pressurized cryogenic fluids.
In 2016-2017, 100 sensors are delivered to companies testing advanced turbopump designs.
