A major change in turbopropulsion technology development philosophy is now being pursued by the U.S. Air Force Wright Aeronautical Laboratories (AFWAL) which will provide revolutionary advancements in overall operational performance capability for future military aircraft and aerospace weapon systems. An historical perspective illustrates the significance of the advancements being pursued, with engine thrust-to-weight used as the principal performance figure-of-merit. The High Performance Turbine Engine Technologies (HPTET) effort, begun in 1982, is discussed. The overall goal of the effort is to provide the advanced materials, innovative structural concepts and advanced aerothermodynamics to double turbopropulsion capability by the year 2000.
