Volume 5, Number 5 September/October 1997 Aerospace Technology Development Turbofan-Powered Aircraft Expected to Revive Aviation ASA HAS PARTNERED WITH THE GENERAL aviation industry in introducing the V-JET II, a turbofan-powered light aircraft designed for future flight testing. It is expected to revolutionize and revitalize general aviation with a safer, smoother, quieter and more affordable light aircraft. "The V-JET II marks a turning point in general aviation," NASA Administrator Daniel S. Goldin said when he joined Williams International Chairman Dr. Sam Williams at the 45th Annual Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) International Fly-In held recently in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, to demonstrate the V-JET II. Dr. Williams added, "Our objectives are to develop the quietest and least polluting propulsion system in aviation as well as the lightest weight turbine propulsion system for manned aircraft. We also expect to be able to price these engines low enough to stimulate the rapid expansion of the light aircraft industry in the United States." Williams provided the aircraft for use in the General Aviation Propulsion (GAP) program. It will demonstrate breakthrough, low-cost turbine-engine propulsion systems for light general aviation aircraft with cruising airspeeds greater than 200 knots.

Missions Click to Go to Topic: VTOL UAV Sport Aviation Marine ... Model Aviation Aviation Missions Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL) The statically-operating ramjet is ideal for VTOL applications. The capability of delivering high thrust with low weight during takeoff and landing and then converting to low thrust for conventional cruise is what has been dreamed of by futurists and engineers for nearly a century. See Products for a detailed explanation. As foreseen by futurists, the obvious missions for a practical VTOL vehicle include: City sky-scraper rescue platform City air ambulance City air taxi/limosine City police patrol and interception City small package delivery Military battlefield utility and reconnaissance Given the potential for accidental damage to the world's tallest buildings as well as intentional damage in an era of terrorist attacks , it is tragic that no means is available today for approaching a building's windows from the outside to reach trapped occupants. A rotorcraft (helicopter) cannot bring its fuselage in contact with a building's windows since the rotary wing would strike the building with catastrophic consequences. A wingless VTOL platform could climb to any specific window of a building, punch through the glass, deliver survival equipment, and/or remove survivors in a matter of minutes. Such platforms could be positioned at the base of every tall building in storage awaiting emergency use. The cost of such simple wingless vehicles would be so low as to be economically practical.

General Aviation Propulsion Program (The GAP Program) Before we start talking about what the GAP Program actually is we need to define a couple terms. When you see the words general aviation and propulsion in NASA projects, here's what they're talking about: general aviation: This term has to do with airplanes that are owned by people like your parents, doctor, teacher, etc. Smaller, lighter-weight airplanes. These planes can be extremely useful but can also be very expensive. propulsion: Propulsion simply means anything having to do with the engines of the plane. Question: So what is the GAP Program? Answer: The research conducted under the GAP Program is mainly concerned with reducing the amount of noise, vibration and maintenance needed on the engines in light aircraft. The program is based at NASA Glenn in Cleveland, Ohio. By cooperating with the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) and industry partners, NASA hopes to develop more affordable propulsion systems for light aircraft in order to make the planes more useful to smaller suburban and rural communities. Question: What types of engines does the GAP Program work on?

General Aviation Propulsion Program T he General Aviation Propulsion program was established to address the technology needs of the general aviation engine industry. The specific goal of GAP is to develop and flight demonstrate revolutionary propulsion systems for general aviation aircraft to support revitalization of the U.S. General Aviation Light Aircraft Industry. This is being done in partnership with the FAA by developing technologies and processes that will result in low-cost, environmentally compliant, revolutionary propulsion systems for light general aviation aircraft. The major milestone of the program is to flight demonstrate fully manufacturable, certifiable propulsion systems in the year 2000 which meet or exceed the cost and operability requirements of the program. S elect one of the thumbnail images below: GAP Turbine Engine Mockup: This is a mockup of the Williams International FJX-2 turbine engine being developed as part of the NASA General Aviation Propulsion Program. It is a high bypass turbofan with a "common core" design which will enable turboprop and turboshaft versions of the engine to be designed and produced. The engine design point has 700 pounds of sea level static thrust with a weight of less than 100 pounds, giving it an excellent thrust to weight ratio. At reasonable production levels, the engine should be cost competitive with current piston engines. When the weight, performance, and installation advantages this engine provides are taken advantage of in an integrated aircraft design, the aircraft fuel burn for a given mission will be comparable to a piston engine-powered airplane with the same payload.
