The T64 is a turboshaft/turboprop aircraft engine under development by the Small Aircraft Engine Department of the author’s company for the U. S. Navy Bureau of Weapons. A summary is given of the basic design criteria for the engine as well as a brief description of the engine configuration and highlights of engine development experience. A summary of the engine configuration is given in Table 1.

This paper aims at presenting an approach to structuring interactions within product, through a graph, for simulation purposes. This approach has been developed for specific needs on Simulation Lifecycle Management (SLM) dedicated to aircraft engine development. The paper also illustrates the implementation of this approach on a case study which concerns a compressor design.

Exciting developments have occurred over the past two years in the technological status and production aspects of Stratified Charge Rotary Engines. A program is currently underway for the development, certification and production of a 400 HP aircraft engine in early 1990. The joint program is being conducted by John Deere’s Rotary Engine Division and AVCO Lycoming Williamsport Division. The engine will offer to the General Aviation community Jet-A fuel capability at substantial cost savings, improved altitude capability and lower fuel consumption over turbine power plants. Application to fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft are planned. Other stratified charge rotary engine development work in progress involves ground power units, airborne APU’s, shipboard gensets and vehicular engines, supported by Deere production capabilities and DOD interests. Technology enablement efforts by NASA, aimed at highly advanced output and efficiency are in progress leading toward revolutionary engine capability for aircraft and other applications.

The article presents selected results of research on the primary structure of a new generation of cobalt-based Co-20Ni-10Al-5Mo-2Nb superalloys. Research on this group of materials was started in 2006 by J. Sato. These materials are anticipated to be able to replace nickel-based superalloys in the future due to their superior elevated temperature properties compared to the nickel-based superalloys. Today, γ’ nickel-based superalloys are still unrivalled in aerospace applications, however, cobalt-based superalloys are a response to their existing limitations, which do not allow the current pace of aircraft engine development to be maintained.
