Design and Evaluation of an Integrated Quiet, Clean General Aviation Turbofan (QCGAT) Engine and Aircraft Propulsion System


Book Description

The design was based on the LTS-101 engine family for the core engine. A high bypass fan design (BPR=9.4) was incorporated to provide reduced fuel consumption for the design mission. All acoustic and pollutant emissions goals were achieved. A discussion of the preliminary design of a business jet suitable for the developed propulsion system is included. It is concluded that large engine technology can be successfully applied to small turbofans, and noise or pollutant levels need not be constraints for the design of future small general aviation turbofan engines.

NASA Quiet Clean General Aviation Turbofan (QCGAT) Program Status


Book Description

The suitability of large engine technology to reduce noise, emissions, and fuel consumption of small turbine engines and develop new technology where required is determined. The design, fabrication, assembly, test, and delivery of the experimental engines to NASA are discussed.
