In 1987, a paper entitled ‘The United Kingdom Engine Technology Demonstrator Programme’ (ASME 87-GT-203) was presented at the Gas Turbine Conference in Anaheim. That paper postulated that a programme of engine technology demonstration ahead of commitment to full-scale development was essential if past problems of cost overrun and inadequate performance at service entry were to be avoided. The paper concluded that the UK had established a balanced programme of technology demonstration, emphasising that Industry and Government must invest this activity with the same commitment traditionally given to projects if the full benefits were to be realised. This follow-up paper presents an expanded view of future programme objectives and how the programme elements formulated for their achievement are to be managed.

An investment strategy, known as the Engine Model Derivative Program has resulted in the prototype development of a new fighter engine, a new turboprop engine and promises the future development of a second fighter engine. The rationale for prototype, rather than full-scale development is presented and a brief overview of the F101 Derivative Fighter Engine, XT56-100 and F100 Advanced Derivative is described.
