THE IMPACT OF THE HIGH DEVELOPMENT COST OF ADVANCED FLIGHT PROPULSION SYSTEMS ON DEVELOPMENT POLICY

Abstract

A discussion of techniques for handling R nand D funds to reduce the investment risk in implementing programs for new propulsion systems, particularly systems which are novel and advanced. To guide the funding management, relevant R and D activities are described in detail, followed by a discussion of criteria to be met before an engine qualifies for consideration.
