Fuel conservative aircraft engine technologyNASA's Aircraft Energy Efficiency Program, initiated in an effort to minimize the adverse impact of the worldwide fuel crisis, will develop technology for more fuel-efficient subsonic transport aircraft. The program includes three major propulsion projects: (1) Engine Component Improvement, directed at current engines, (2) Energy Efficient Engine, directed at new turbofan engines, and (3) Advanced Turboprops, directed at technology for advanced turboprop-powered aircraft. The present paper reviews the current status of each of these projects and describes some of the technologies and recent accomplishments.
