The paper demonstrates that many advances can be anticipated in propulsion systems for aircraft in the next 20 years. A survey is presented of probable future engine types, including convertible engines for helicopters, turboprops for fuel efficient airliners, and variable cycle engines for supersonic transports. Also examined is the use of rotary engines in general aviation aircraft. Finally, a review is given of related technology improvements in propellers, materials, noise suppression, and digital electronic controls.
