Jet Engine Design Competition | TEKNOFEST

ABOUT THE COMPETITION

Jet Engine Design Competition is organized within the scope of TEKNOFEST Technology competitions.

The Jet Engine Design Competition aims to increase the interest of students and newly graduated engineers in aviation gas turbine engine technologies and to enhance their engineering capabilities in this field.

Within the scope of the 2026 Jet Engine Design Competition, participants are expected to design a movable axisymmetric convergent–divergent nozzle for a turbofan engine producing 6000 lbf thrust.

The competition is open to engineering students (Undergraduate, Master’s, and PhD) studying in Türkiye or abroad, as well as newly graduated engineers from engineering departments who are not professionally practicing engineering.

The evaluation stages of the competition are as follows;
  • Conceptual Design Report (CDR)
  • Detailed Design Report (DDR)
  • Final Presentations
  • Rig Test
Templates for the reports that competitors should prepare will be announced on the TEKNOFEST website at a later date.
