Air Force Research in Aero Propulsion Technology

Abstract

The program on Air Force Research on Aero Propulsion Technology (AFRAPT) was conceived by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, with the support of a consortium of universities, as a means of exposing graduate students to aeropropulsion technology as part of their graduate study experience. The students typically were in residence during the academic year, and were employed by one of the gas turbine companies during summer. During the period of 1989 to 1998, Princeton University actively participated in this program. A total of four students received M.S.E. degrees and seven students received Ph. D. degrees, with either total or partial support from AFRAPT.
