General Aviation Propulsion Program T he General Aviation Propulsion program was established to address the technology needs of the general aviation engine industry. The specific goal of GAP is to develop and flight demonstrate revolutionary propulsion systems for general aviation aircraft to support revitalization of the U.S. General Aviation Light Aircraft Industry. This is being done in partnership with the FAA by developing technologies and processes that will result in low-cost, environmentally compliant, revolutionary propulsion systems for light general aviation aircraft. The major milestone of the program is to flight demonstrate fully manufacturable, certifiable propulsion systems in the year 2000 which meet or exceed the cost and operability requirements of the program. S elect one of the thumbnail images below: GAP Turbine Engine Mockup: This is a mockup of the Williams International FJX-2 turbine engine being developed as part of the NASA General Aviation Propulsion Program. It is a high bypass turbofan with a "common core" design which will enable turboprop and turboshaft versions of the engine to be designed and produced. The engine design point has 700 pounds of sea level static thrust with a weight of less than 100 pounds, giving it an excellent thrust to weight ratio. At reasonable production levels, the engine should be cost competitive with current piston engines. When the weight, performance, and installation advantages this engine provides are taken advantage of in an integrated aircraft design, the aircraft fuel burn for a given mission will be comparable to a piston engine-powered airplane with the same payload.

Volume 5, Number 5 September/October 1997 Aerospace Technology Development Turbofan-Powered Aircraft Expected to Revive Aviation ASA HAS PARTNERED WITH THE GENERAL aviation industry in introducing the V-JET II, a turbofan-powered light aircraft designed for future flight testing. It is expected to revolutionize and revitalize general aviation with a safer, smoother, quieter and more affordable light aircraft. "The V-JET II marks a turning point in general aviation," NASA Administrator Daniel S. Goldin said when he joined Williams International Chairman Dr. Sam Williams at the 45th Annual Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) International Fly-In held recently in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, to demonstrate the V-JET II. Dr. Williams added, "Our objectives are to develop the quietest and least polluting propulsion system in aviation as well as the lightest weight turbine propulsion system for manned aircraft. We also expect to be able to price these engines low enough to stimulate the rapid expansion of the light aircraft industry in the United States." Williams provided the aircraft for use in the General Aviation Propulsion (GAP) program. It will demonstrate breakthrough, low-cost turbine-engine propulsion systems for light general aviation aircraft with cruising airspeeds greater than 200 knots.

Volume 6, Number 3 May/June 1998 Technology Transfer Forty Years: NASA's Aviation Safety Efforts Soar ajor strides have been made during the last 40 years to make flying the safest of all major modes of transportation. The story of military aviation and the American aircraft industry during World War II is well known. Lesser known, but no less meaningful, is NASA's important contributions to aviation through its research, development and production of military aircraft for use during World War II. This beneficence serves as the foundation of NASA's present aeronautical research, accomplishments, goals and partnerships. NASA's Efforts Today The most recent development toward this goal is NASA's Aviation Safety Program, an ambitious $500 million program in partnership with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the aviation industry and the Department of Defense. The Aviation Safety Program emphasizes not only accident reduction, but also a decrease in injuries when accidents do occur. The program will include research to reduce human-error-caused accidents and incidents, predict and prevent mechanical and software malfunction and eliminate accidents involving hazardous weather and controlled flight into terrain. Information technology will be used to build a safer aviation system to support pilots and air traffic controllers. The FAA will help define requirements and actions to enact many of the safety standards.
