At its core the engine has a twin annular pre-mixing swirler(TAPS) combustor that pre-mixes the air and fuel before they are burned. This is designed to allow the combustion process to be more complete at lower temperatures.... The heart of the combustor is a pair of annular fuel/air "swirls" that pre-mix the two before funnelling the mixture to the relatively conventional combustor. The inner swirler is used for low-thrust requirements in idle and taxiing, while the outer swirler engages for higher thrust settings. 2, record 1, English, - twin%20annular%20pre%2Dmixing%20swirler

En outre, le Leap-X disposera d'une chambre à combustion type Taps (Twin Annular Pre-mixing swirler) à prémélange tourbillonnaire. Cette technologie, déjà en service sur le GEnx, permet à la chambre de combustion de fonctionner avec un mélange air-carburant plus homogène et plus pauvre, donc moins propice à la formation des NOx [oxydes d'azote]. 1, record 1, French, - chambre%20%C3%A0%20combustion%20type%20Taps

... the United States Federal Aviation Administration has the Airfield Delay Model which simulates all significant aircraft movements performed on an aerodrome and its runway approach paths during an extended period of time. Such models are able to consider a variety of input variables such as : a) aircraft mix; b) traffic volume; c) traffic peaking; d) aerodrome layouts(taxiway and runway) ;e) terminal destinations of aircraft; f) runway configurations; g) taxiway configurations; h) rapid exit taxiways; and i) use of particular runways by categories of aircraft. From these inputs, these models produce output for evaluation and comparison which include : a) taxiing fuel costs; b) taxiing distances; c) taxiing travel times; d) taxiing delays; and e) runway arrival and departure delays. 1, record 2, English, - airfield%20delay%20model

The Airfield Delay Simulation Model (ADSIM) is a fast-time, discrete event model, which employs stochastic processes and Monte Carlo sampling techniques. It describes significant movements of aircraft on the airport and the effects of delay in the adjacent airspace. 2, record 2, English, - airfield%20delay%20model
