The use of 'broad-specifikation' fuels in aircraft gas turbine engines can be a significant factor in offsetting anticipated shortages of current-specification jet fuel in the latter part of the century. The changes in fuel properties accompanying the use of broad-specification fuels will tend to cause numerous emissions, performance, and durability problems in currently-designed combustion systems. The NASA Broad-Specification Fuels Combustion Technology Programm is a contracted effort to evolve and demonstrate the technology required to utilize broadspecification fuels in current and next generation commercial Conventional Takeoff and Landing (CTOL) aircraft engines, and to verify this technology in full-scale engine tests in 1983. The program consists of three phases: Combustor Concept Screening, Combustor Optimization Testing, and Engine Verification Testing. (Peters)
