Propulsion system design for the ATT.

The NASA funded Advanced Transport Technology (ATT) systems studies are directed at identifying the optimum propulsion system characteristics required for a low noise, low emissions level engine designed for an advanced commercial transport that employs the supercritical wing technology. This transport could be in service in the late 70s or early 80s and would be designed for transcontinental and international ranges with cruise speeds up to Mach 0.98. This paper reviews the significant results of the propulsion system study, the implications in the propulsion design concept, and the acoustically treated nacelle.

Studies for determining the optimum propulsion system characteristics for use in a long range transport aircraft

A comprehensive evaluation of propulsion systems for the next generation of near-sonic long range transport aircraft indicates that socially responsive noise and emission goals can be achieved within the probable limits of acceptable airplane performance and economics. Technology advances needed in the 1975-1985 time period to support the development of these propulsion systems are identified and discussed. The single most significant result is the low noise, high performance potential of a low tip speed, spaced, two-stage fan.
