Characteristics and evolution of gas-turbine engines; in 1935-1964 period, aircraft engine cruise power has increased 20-fold, weight/hp ratio has improved by factor of 5, and fuel consumption per pound of thrust horsepower of jet engines approaches that of best piston engines at twice flight speed; substantial decreases in power plant initial and maintenance costs and in-flight shutdown rates were obtained; turbofan engine compares most favorably with land and sea propulsion systems in initial, direct operating, and maintenance costs; advances made indicate feasibility of attaining supersonic transport goals; research needed.
