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 and drive systems for vertical lift aircraft and Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) vehicles This Project supports Army modernization by demonstrating mature technologies for lighter turbine engines and drives that provide increased power, increased fuel efficiency, improved sustainability and reduced maintenance. These advanced engine designs and drives will significantly improve the overall aircraft performance characteristics and reduce the logistical footprint of Army 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. FY20 realignments are due to financial restructuring in support of Army Modernization Priorities.
