Advanced Engine Dev
Abstract
The Advanced Engine Development Program enables demonstration of advanced turbine engine prototypes. This program is maturing fuel efficient adaptive engine component technologies and reducing associated risk in preparation for next-generation propulsion system development for combat aircraft applications. Adaptive engine technology enables next generation combat aircraft capabilities by combining the efficiency of high bypass turbofans used by commercial airlines with the performance demanded of military fighter engines. This technology has undergone initial development under the auspices of the Air Force Research Laboratory through the Adaptive Engine Technology and Adaptive Engine Technology Demonstrator programs. In addition, this program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver advanced engine capabilities. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605831F. This effort is in Budget Activity 4, Advanced Component Development and Prototypes (ACD&P), because efforts are necessary to evaluate integrated technologies, representative modes or prototype systems in a high fidelity and realistic operating environment.
