Adaptive Versatile Engine Technology (ADVENT) Engine Demonstration: Engine Low Spool Design Initiation and Critical Long Lead Hardware Procurement
Abstract
This project will engage near term critical activities necessary to enable an engine demonstration in early 2013. It will accelerate turbine engine research to fully align competitive ground engine demonstrators for future technology development and maturation. If implemented and fully developed, the advanced engine design offers the potential to increase F-35 radius by 30%, increase long range strike range / loiter envelop by 25%, enable long range/high speed capabilities in the 6th generation fighter aircraft, and significantly reduce tanker burden across the fleet. The activity supports DoD guidance on competitive prototyping.
