Advanced Propulsion Technology

Abstract

This project develops combined/advanced cycle air breathing high-speed (up to Mach 5) and hypersonic (Mach 5 to 7) propulsion technologies to provide revolutionary propulsion options for the Air Force. These new engine technologies will enable future high-speed/hypersonic weapons and aircraft concepts. The primary focus is on hydrocarbon-fueled engines capable of operating over a broad range of flight Mach numbers. Efforts include modeling, simulations, and proof of concept demonstrations of critical components; advanced component development; and ground-based demonstrations.
