The accomplishments of AGARD are examined and its purposes. AGARD is described as a crucible for knowledge and a springboard for cooperative research which in the years to come will contribute to the building of a stronger Europe within a stronger alliance. An over view is provided of the state of propulsion technologies related to the Propulsion and Energetics Panel (PEP) with comments on associated international activities. A quantum leap in capability is forecast. Hypersonic vehicles and combined cycle engines are of interest but will require more research. In-service support and continuous development cycle of aero gas turbines will benefit from expected technological advancements. The importance of propulsion was stressed and the AGARD Chairman concluded with a recommendation for continued work on reliability of aircraft engines.
