Total mission fuel and installed propulsion system weight are sensitive to choice of engine size and cycle, fuel type, and reserve fuel definition; effects of these variables on vehicle mission elements and on operational characteristics such as community noise, sonic boom, and flexibility as required by air traffic are studied; parameters evaluated are candidate engine cycles, effect of engine airflow in pounds per second, effect of propulsion system weight, and fuel consumption characteristics; sizing and cycle comparisons; study shows that engines will be sized by community noise or sonic boom considerations; other findings.
