Details of the NASA sponsored General Electric Energy Efficient Engine (E3) technology program are presented along with a description of the engine, cycle and aircraft system benefits. Opportunities for further performance improvement beyond (E3) are examined. Studies leading to the selection of the (E3) cycle and configuration are summarized. The advanced technology features, cycle and component performance levels are also presented. An evaluation of the benefits of the fully developed Flight Propulsion System (FPS) is made relative to the NASA programm goals by comparing the FPS with the CF6-50C where both are installed in advanced subsonic transport aircraft. Results indicate that a mission fuel saving from 15 to 23 percent is possible depending on mission length. (Wassmann)
