Key points

The study defines new technology engines in two power classes: a 200 hp class for light, 4-place personal aircraft and a 1500 pound thrust class for twin-engined business jets.
Engines were evaluated for retrofitting current production aircraft and compared to existing engines based on performance in typical missions.
The evaluation addressed cost, safety, maintenance, and reliability, leading to recommendations for the best-suited systems for general aviation.
Manufacturing plans and dual-use technology development plans were constructed for the recommended engines.
The research was originally published internally as AST008 in December 1996.

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.
