Propulsion (PP)
Abstract
Propulsion F135 Block 4 Integrated Flight Test Support includes efforts such as Engine Flight Test, Test Engine Procurements, and other associated government costs. For C2D2 to be able to continue to test all three aircraft variants, propulsion support is required to enable continued flying. Increased flights and flight hours are planned over the next 2 years, requiring elevated propulsion support. All of the current Full Flight Release (FFR) engines supporting Flight Test are at or nearing their life limits, requiring the purchase of new Initial Service Release (ISR) engines to replace them. This replacement effort is planned to occur over the next few years to enable continued flight capability. Beginning in FY 2022, Propulsion (PP) was established as a separate, distinct project within the Continuous Capability Development and Delivery (C2D2) Program Element, per Congressional direction. Efforts are continued from BPAC 675346, which is still included at the end of the R-2A for FY 2020 and FY 2021. This Project has also been updated to reflect the directed project categories to provide traceability between current execution and the FY 2022 request.
