Adaptive Engine Transition Program

Abstract

The Adaptive Engine Transition Program (AETP) will design and manufacture multiple flight-weight adaptive engine prototypes, complete component rig assessments, characterize materials, and inform manufacturing process improvements. By producing flight-weight prototypes, the program will demonstrate adaptive engine technology can be scaled to meet military fighter engine size requirements, while ensuring appropriate manufacturing- and technology-readiness levels. By performing sea-level, altitude, and durability assessments across multiple power settings, the prototype engines will demonstrate fuel efficiency increases, thrust increases, and new component technologies. These assessments will provide data to quantify the capability and reduce risk in areas such as thermal capacity, reliability, and supportability, among others.
