来自华盛顿的消息称,美国空军和陆军都在全力发展下一代航空发动机,以期显著提高航空动力系统的燃料效率和输出功率。美国两大航空发动机制造业巨头—通用电气航空系统公司和普拉特·惠特尼发动机公司展开了激烈的竞争。美国空军开发自适应发动机技术的工作已经进入新阶段,根据空军的自适应发动机过渡计划(AETP),新型航空发动机将开始制造和测试。两个团队都在2015年9月16日之前提交了标书。AETP的合同可能会在 Sources from Washington said that both the U.S. Air Force and the Army are making every effort to develop the next generation of aero engines with a view to significantly improving the fuel efficiency and output power of the aerodynamic systems. The two major U.S. aero-engine manufacturers, General Electric Aerospace Systems and Platt Whitney Engine Company, have fierce competition. The U.S. Air Force has begun a new phase of developing adaptive engine technology that will begin production and testing under the Air Force’s Adaptive Engine Transition Program (AETP). Both teams submitted tenders by September 16, 2015. AETP’s contract may be there
