Adaptive Engine Transition Program
Abstract
The Adaptive Engine Transition Program (AETP) will design and manufacture multiple adaptive engine prototypes, complete component rig assessments, characterize materials, and inform manufacturing process improvements. 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 producing flight-weight prototypes. The prototype engines will demonstrate fuel efficiency increases, thrust increases, and new component technologies by performing sea-level, altitude, and durability assessments across multiple power settings. These assessments will provide data to quantify the capability and reduce risk in areas such as thermal capacity, reliability, and supportability, among others. FY 2022 was the last year the entirety of AETP reported in Program Element 0604004F, Advanced Engine Development, Project 643608, Advanced Engine Development. FY 2023 is executing in its entirety in Program Element 0604534F, Adaptive Engine Transition Program, Project 640866: Advanced Engine Transition Program (AETP).
