A study was conducted to establish the Conceptual Design of an Improved Gas Turbine (IGT) Powertrain which best meets the following goals: (1) at least a 20% improvement in fuel economy (as a result of powertrain thermal efficiency improvement) relative to a conventionally powered 1976 compact size passenger car, based on the EPA composite driving cycle; (2) 1983 production engineering readiness; (3) reliability and life comparable to those of currently marketed powertrains; (4) driverability acceptable to the consumer; (5) meet or exceed Federal Emission Standards of 0.4, 3.4, and 0.4 gm/mi for HC, CO, and NO/sub x/; (6) meet currently legislated noise and safety levels; and (7) have competitive initial cost and a life-cycle cost no greater than those of conventionally powered vehicles.
