Aeropropulsion 1991
For the 50th anniversary, a review was provided of recent accomplishments of the ongoing programs at Lewis Research Center. The Lewis Aeropropulsion Program has the charter to develop advanced airbreathing propulsion technology for applications of national interest. To implement this program, Lewis concentrates its basic research in the critical disciplines of internal fluid mechanics, instrumentation and control, and structures and materials. The efforts are focused on developing new science, often implemented through advanced computer codes. Carefully designed experiments provide the data required to validate the advanced codes. Recent results and planned accomplishments in these areas are reviewed. From this firm foundation technology is investigated for a number of applications including propulsion, high performance and hypersonic aircraft, rotorcraft, and general aviation.
