Future Affordable Turbine Engine (FATE)
Abstract
Demonstrate an advanced, innovative 7000 shp class gas turbine engine that provides significant improvement in operational capability for current and future rotorcraft. FATE uses sequential design and fabrication iterations to mature a design to demonstrate significant reduction in specific fuel consumption (SFC); significant improvement in horsepower-to-weight ratio; and significant reduction in production and maintenance cost compared to year 2000 state-of-the-art engine technology. The sequential design and fabrication process will begin with the compressor subsystem, then the combuster subsystem, then the turbine subsystem, and finally the mechanical systems. Work in this project is coordinated with efforts in PE 0602211A, project 47A.
