The study considers a range of possible effects on the transportation industry, satellite industries, the labor market, and the economy. A postulated 1976 Otto Cycle Internal Combustion Engine equipped with a dual catalyst manifold reactor and other "conventional' emission control devices was compared in detail with a Regenerative Free Turbine Engine and a Rankine Cycle Engine, as specified by the contracting agency. Manufacturing costs, operating and ownership costs, consumer demand, inter-industry effects, employment, resource requirements, and international trade implications were analyzed in depth under a number of plausible sets of policy constraints and parametric variations. Principal conclusions are that conversion over a 10 year period is feasible.
