Five NASA engine-oriented propulsion programs of major importance to civil aviation are presented and discussed. Included are programs directed at exploring propulsion-system concepts for 1) energy-conservative subsonic aircraft (improved current turbofans, advanced turbofans, and advanced turboprops), 2) supersonic cruise aircraft (variable-cycle engines), 3) general aviation aircraft (improved reciprocating engines and small gas turbines), 4) powered-lift aircraft (advanced turbofans), and 5) advanced rotorcraft. These programs reflect the opportunities still existing for significant improvements in civil aviation through the application of advanced propulsion concepts. (Kursetz)
