艾利逊公司以稳定的创纪录的涡轮进口温度成功地试验了战斗机及攻击机用的核心发动机,从而验证了所用冷却技术的先进性。 根据美国国防部综合高性能发动机技术(IHPTET)计划研制的XTC-16/1B核心发动机,于6月中旬成为首台达到原定1997年才可望实现的性能目标的发动机。 提前3年达到IHPTET第二阶段有关涡轮温度的目标有力地证明了今后的验证机有可能实现IHPTET的最终目标,即到2003年,战斗机发动机的推重比提高100％,耗油率降低38％。这些技术在艾利逊公司为 Allison successfully tested the core engine for fighter and attack aircraft at a steady record turbine inlet temperature, validating the advancement of the cooling technology used. The XTC-16 / 1B core engine, developed according to the Department of Defense’s Integrated High Performance Engine Technology (IHPTET) program, became the first engine in mid-June to achieve the performance target scheduled for 1997. The 3-year IHPTET Phase 2 target on turbine temperatures is a strong demonstration that future demonstrators are likely to achieve IHPTET’s ultimate goal of achieving 100% thrust and 38% reduction in fighter engine thrust by 2003. These technologies are in Allison’s
