Turbine Engine Technology
Abstract
This project develops technology to increase turbine engine operational reliability, durability, mission flexibility, and performance, while reducing weight, fuel consumption, and cost of ownership. Analytical and experimental areas of emphasis are fans and compressors, high temperature combustors, turbines, internal flow systems, controls, augmentor and exhaust systems, integrated power and thermal management systems, engine inlet integration, mechanical systems, adaptive cycle technologies, and structural design. This project develops component technology for an adaptive cycle engine architecture that provides both optimized performance and fuel efficiency for widely varying mission needs. This project supports joint Department of Defense, agency, and industry efforts to focus turbine propulsion technology on national needs. The project plan is relevant across capability areas for global responsive strike, tactical and global mobility, responsive space lift, and persistent intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR). In FY 2021, the entirety of Project 623066, Turbine Engine Technology is transferred to PE 0602201F, Aerospace Vehicle Technologies, Project 623066, Turbine Engine Technology in order to realign technology areas that better support the National Defense Strategy, Air Force Future Operating Concept and Air Force Science and Technology Strategy, April 2019. This is an administrative realignment for consolidation, and not a new start.
