13. ABSTRACT (Maximum 200 words) In this study, new technology engines were defined in two power classes: a 200 hp class, for a light, 4-place personal aircraft, and a 1500 pound thrust class for a twin-engined business jet type aircraft. These engines were evaluated for retrofitting suitable current production aircraft for comparison to the existing engines. The engines were evaluated for performance in a mission typical for each aircraft, as well as a variant mission to further appraise the impact of engine performance. Issues of cost, safety, maintenance, and reliability were also addressed for the engine comparisons resulting in the recommendation for the system best suited to general aviation in each power class. Manufacturing plans and dual-use technology development plans were then constructed for these engines.
