Advanced Propulsion Concepts and Component Technologies

Abstract

This technical memorandum summarizes the activities of a cost-shared project order entitled "Advanced Propulsion Concepts and Component Technologies" dated 14 June 2004 under an AFRL MOU/PIA (Memorandum of Understanding/Partnership Intermediary Agreement) dated 17 March 2003 with the Wright Brothers Institute (WBI) located in Dayton, Ohio. The program was structured as a one year effort to develop a plan for cooperative research partnered with The Ohio State University. An optional four year follow-on effort may be pursued to conduct the proposed research. The objective and scope of this research was to define and investigate advanced propulsion concepts and component technologies that could provide improvements in gas turbine engines and advanced propulsion systems for manned and unmanned systems to enhance the mission of PR. This could include technologies associated with gas turbine engines, combined cycle engines, near-constant temperature cycle turbine engines, and pulsed detonation engines or other related areas of interest to the Air Force.
