An investigation was made to assess the feasibility of ammonia-fueled gas turbine engines in Army aircraft. In accordance with this objective, engine performance in the UH-1D helicopter and in the CV-7A fixed-wing aircraft was compared utilizing both hydrocarbon and anhydrous ammonia fuels. Aircraft fuel system requirements were investigated, and an elementary cost comparison was made for engine conversion kits and production engines. Engine maintenance was considered briefly. From this study, it is concluded that the use of ammonia as a gas turbine fuel results in considerably lower aircraft productivity than the productivity obtained from the use of hydrocarbon fuels.
