Aircraft Propulsion
The Lewis Research Center is the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's principal field installation for research and development of advanced-aerospace-propulsion and power-generating systems. More specifically, a substantial part of the Center's activities is devoted to progress in the technology of aircraft propulsion. Work includes such diverse areas as components, controls and other aspects of installation, V/STOL and low-cost-engine designs and noise reduction. The results of this work are published as NASA reports and as articles in the technical journals. In addition, an occasional technical conference assists us in communicating more directly with others in the engineering fraternity. Accordingly, this conference - in which the NASA Ames, Flight, and Langley Research Centers are represented where they are working in related areas - is held to present the results of our recent and current work.
