Air Breathing

Air-Breathing Propulsion related technologies cover materials, technologies and concepts applicable to turbojets, turbofans, turboprops and hybrid engines based on turbojets.

Note: At this stage, technologies applicable to ramjets are excluded from the scope.

Five key research themes have been defined:

• Reduce fuel consumption.
• Enlarge flight envelope.
• Disposable engines.
• Disruptive Turbo Jet Engine architectures.
• Improved engine/aircraft integration.
