A review of the factors affecting the helicopter market for the past, present, and future is presented. The trade-offs involving acquisition cost, mission reliability, and life-cycle cost are reviewed, including civil and military aspects. The potential for advanced vehicle configurations with substantial improvements in energy efficiency, operating economics, and characteristics to satisfy the demands of the future market are identified. Advanced propulsion systems required to support these vehicle configurations are, in turn, discussed, as well as the component technology for the engine systems. Considerations for selection of components in areas of economics and efficiency are presented. (Wassmann)
