This SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) provides a performance station designation system for aircraft propulsion systems and their derivatives.

This SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) provides classical propulsion system performance parameter names for aircraft propulsion systems and their derivatives, and describes the logical framework by which new names can be constructed.

Form supersonic aircraft to sustainable aviation and propulsion, AeroTech covers it all.

This makes atomic energy attractive for aircraft propulsion, where it could combine high performance with large payload and long range. ...Chief obstacles in design of an atomic aircraft engine are development of light-weight shielding against deadly radiations; adequate cans to retain radioactive fission products; a pile capable of operating at high temperature and high thermal stresses; and a safe, flexible control mechanism.

This relationship has evolved from the modification of military engines for application to the initial commercial transport aircraft to the present where some engines have been designed from inception to meet commercial transport requirements. ...There are future military and commercial propulsion requirements, however, where the anticipated market may not be sufficiently large or firm to provide the basis for a new development, for example, a medium size commercial or military STOL aircraft. ...There are future military and commercial propulsion requirements, however, where the anticipated market may not be sufficiently large or firm to provide the basis for a new development, for example, a medium size commercial or military STOL aircraft. Proper planning could provide the basis for development of a powerplant that would satisfy both military and commercial requirements; in fact, use of common engines may be necessary to provide a production base large enough for STOL or VTOL engine development and production to be economically viable.

Create and publish a list of terms relevant to electrified propulsion aircraft with summary text descriptions. The terms and descriptions will not provide full explanations, diagrams, and other detailed technical descriptions. ...This document defines the relevant terms and abbreviations related to the design, development, and use of electrified propulsion in aircraft. This definition is provided to enable a consistent use of technical language throughout the standards developed by the E-40 committee.

The application of electric power for aircraft propulsion can take a variety of forms, ranging from partial electric to full electric. ...The introduction of electric engines to drive propulsors, along with the variety of available methods to generate electricity and store energy offers great degree of new design freedom for next-generation aircraft and aircraft architectures. This newfound design freedom exposes a need within the aviation industry to establish a common design language for electrified propulsion. ...While providing these example architectures, this document will develop common definitions for the elements of the architectures by defining: 1 The elements of electrified propulsion architectures, including any dedicated power generation and distribution systems as well as energy storage elements. 2 The interfaces to/from the electrified propulsion system. 3 The interfaces within the electrified propulsion system. 4 Electrical energy management and storage architecture of an electrified propulsion system.

This ARP outlines recommended practices to quantify the concentrations of a subset of bleed air contaminant marker compounds on an aircraft propulsion engine or APU prior to delivery and installation on civil and military aircraft.

To present methods which, according to the consensus of the aviation propulsion community represented by SAE Committee E-34, allow the continued assessment of load carrying capacity of current chemistry products during periods of limited or nonavailability of previously used standardized methods.

This paper presents the overall scope of the NASA Lewis High Performance Aircraft Propulsion Research Program. High performance fighter aircraft of interest include supersonic fighters with such capabilities as short takeoff and vertical landing (STOVL) and/or high maneuverability. ...The overall objective of the NASA Inlet Experiments portion of the HATP, which NASA Lewis leads, is to develop and enhance inlet technology that will ensure high performance and stability of the propulsion system during aircraft maneuvers at high angles of attack. To accomplish this objective, both wind-tunnel and flight experiments are used to obtain steady-state and dynamic data, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) codes are used for analyses. ...This overview of the High Performance Aircraft Propulsion Research Program includes a sampling of the results obtained thus far and plans for the future.

This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) outlines transient measurement methods to determine engine-generated levels of relevant compressor bleed air contaminant marker compounds on a ground level test cell for aircraft propulsion engine or auxiliary power unit (APU) to be fitted on civil and military aircraft.

It included several courses directly related to aircraft propulsion such as: Advanced Turbomachinery and Propulsion, Gas Turbine Design, Fuel Control Systems for Combustion Engines, Vibration Problems in Rotating Machinery, etc. ...The Montreal area has a well developed aerospace industry with a continuous need for young engineers broadly educated in aircraft propulsion. To fulfil this requirement, three Montreal universities: Concordia University, École Polytechnique, and McGill University, with the cooperation of interested industrial enterprises, launched a joint Master of Engineering (Aerospace) program. ...The paper gives a more detailed description of courses and laboratories from the point of view of aircraft propulsion teaching.

It is anticipated that these noise restrictions, like those imposed on larger transport aircraft now certified under Federal Aircraft Regulations, will be revised downward over a period of time. ...Within the next few years tighter restrictions on general aviation aircraft noise are expected. It is anticipated that these noise restrictions, like those imposed on larger transport aircraft now certified under Federal Aircraft Regulations, will be revised downward over a period of time. ...In this paper an alternative to the propeller as a propulsor for general aviation aircraft is discussed. This is the subsonic tip speed low-pressure ratio fan which can be mated to turboshaft, rotary combustion, or reciprocating engines to provide a low noise propulsor in a small package.

Navy and GE Aircraft Engines, investigated the effects incurred by using broad specification fuels. Engine component and full-scale engine tests were conducted on the F404-GE-400 turbofan and the T700-GE-701 turboshaft engines.
