Advanced Engine Dev

Abstract

The Advanced Engine Development project enables demonstration of advanced turbine engine prototypes. The main effort in this project is the Adaptive Engine Transition Program, which is maturing fuel efficient adaptive engine component technologies and reducing associated risk in preparation for next-generation propulsion system development for multiple 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. Project 643608, Advanced Engine Development is new for FY 2019. Previous to FY 2019, the entirety of work under this project was reported in Project 645351, Prototyping, under the Adaptive Engine Transition Program effort in PE 0604858F, Tech Transition Program. This is administrative realignment to provide increase transparency to Congress and not a new start.
