A major change in turbopropulsion technology development philosophy is now being pursued by the US Air Force Wright Aeronautical Laboratories (AFWAL) which will provide revolutionary advancements in overall operational performance capability for future military aircraft and aerospace weapons systems. An historical perspective illustrates the significance of the advancements being pursued, with engine thrust-to-weight used as the principal performance future-of-merit. The High Performance Turbine Engine Technologies effort, an initiative begun in 1982, is discussed. The overall goal of teh HPTET effort is to provide the advanced materials, innovative structural concepts and advanced aerothermodynamics to double turbopropulsion capability by the year 2000. This is being accomplished through an aggressive, highly integrated technology development effort. The Aero Propulsion and Materials Laboratories within AFWAL are partners in this effort.
