The driving parameters for aero engine design were reassessed to account for the stabilization of fuel price in the vicinity of 50 cents per gallon. A program embracing studies in the fields of operating cost analysis, reliability research and engine specific thrust effects established principles reflecting the importance of engine direct operating cost. The same factors influence the aircraft life cycle cost, and as legislative compliance, operator acceptance and passenger appeal. The effect of applying these principles to a new powerplant and the ongoing development of current powerplants is evaluated.
