ACFT Demo Engines
Abstract
This Project matures and demonstrates power system technologies through design, fabrication, and evaluation of advanced engine components in order to improve the performance of turbine engines for vertical lift aircraft. This Project supports Army modernization by demonstrating mature technologies for lighter turbine engines that provide increased power, increased fuel efficiency, improved sustainability and reduced maintenance. These advanced engine designs will significantly improve the overall aircraft performance characteristics and reduce the logistical footprint of vertical lift aircraft. The cited work is consistent with the Assistant Secretary of Defense, Research and Engineering Science and Technology focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this Project is performed by the Aviation Development Directorate of the Army Aviation and Missile Research, Development, and Engineering Center (AMRDEC), at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, VA.
