Progress is reported for a program whose goals are to demonstrate an experimental Upgraded gas turbine-powered automobile which meets the 1978 Federal Emissions Standards, has significantly improved fuel economy, and is competitive in performance, reliability, and potential manufacturing cost with the conventional piston engine-powered, compact-size American automobile. This is the concluding progress report for this program; it covers the period from May 1, 1978 to January 31, 1979. The next formal report will be the final report, which is currently in process. Activity during this reporting period has continued to emphasize development towards correcting a power deficiency in the Upgraded Engine. Efforts are also being directed towards reducing fuel usage through improved heat recovery and towards improving the mechanical reliability and control of the engine. (ERA citation 04:050287)
