Funding development of a second engine from within the existing F-35 budget would cut production by dozens of aircraft and push up program costs, the Joint Strike Fighter’s program chief warns in an interview with Aviation Week. The concerns come as Congress is expected to reverse the White House and Pentagon’s effort to cancel the alternate powerplant.
The first phase of tests of the rocket motor for Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo (SS2) space tourism vehicle has been successfully completed at Mojave, Calif., by Scaled Composites and its subcontractor Sierra Nevada Corp. (SNC).
A military engine program aimed at Mach 4-plus applications could have major fuel-saving potential for future commercial airliners. The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency’s Vulcan program is focused on integrating a new propulsion concept called a constant volume combustion (CVC) engine with a turbojet to power a full-scale vehicle from rest to beyond Mach 4. Although aimed at possible long-range strike and reconnaissance aircraft, as well as missiles, Darpa says the same technology could be used in future commercial engines.
