Future Affordable Turbine Engine (FATE)
Abstract
Demonstrate an advanced, innovative gas turbine engine that provides significant improvement in operational capability for current and future rotorcraft. FATE uses sequential design and fabrication iterations to mature a design to demonstrate the following performance and cost goals: 35% reduction in specific fuel consumption (SFC); 80% improvement in horsepower-to-weight ratio; and a 45% reduction in production and maintenance cost compared to year 2000 state-of-the-art engine technology. Work in this project is coordinated with efforts in PE 0602211A, project 47A.
