An overview of NASA's propulsion research that is aimed at applications for rotary winged flight and general aviation is presented. The strategic goal of this research effort is to provide innovative technologies that will strengthen the nation's competitive stance in the world market for the civil sector, and also provide superior rotorcraft for U.S. military use. The NASA Lewis tactical plan for achieving this strategic goal is the following: (1) to reduce fuel consumption of small engines by 30 percent through use of advanced cycles (including higher pressure and temperature operation) and with improved turbomachinery components technology and ceramic materials; (2) to contribute to fuel savings through weight savings and to reliability by developing advanced technology for transmissions; (3) to contribute to aircraft safety by providing advanced anti-icing and deicing technology; and (4) to achieve high-speed capability through advanced propulsion systems.
