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, conceptual 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 FY2023, Combustion Technologies, Diagnostic Technologies, and Bearing Technologies efforts will transfer from PE 0602203F, Aerospace Propulsion, Project 623048, Combustion and Mechanical Systems, to this Project 623066 Turbine Engine Technology, in order to effectively and efficiently align resources to Aerospace Systems Core Technical Competencies.
