The paper provides an analysis of how much it is possible to improve the efficiency of low-power gas-turbine engines. We show that refining those features of the main blading section units that affect the gas dynamics significantly enhances engine performance. We present a new concept of developing highly efficient turbomachinery, pumps and propellers using modern additive manufacturing technology. We describe a unique research and testing facility for studies, per-node refinement and testing concerning gas-turbine engine components, which should ensure low cost and high efficiency of gas-turbine engine design.
