MULTIMEDIA SAFE DRIVING PROGRAM FOR ADOLESCENTS

Not Available The Air Force's need for high specific output power, durable and maintenance free turbomachinery such as Integrated and auxiliary Power Units (IPU/APU) and small gas turbine engines for Uninhabited air and Air cpmbat Vehicles (UAV/UCAV), missiles, and drones, dictates that light weight, high-speed and high-power propulsion systems be developed. Compliant foil gas bearings with the ability to operate without DN limitations of conventional bearings and ghigh temperatures without lubricants have the potential to make significant improvements in advanced turbomachinery. One of the key issues to be addressed under this program will be the scalabiltiy of foil bearings for a wide range of applications. Design requirments for a broad range of both IPU/APUs and UAV/UCAV gas turbine engines will be reviewed, designoptimization tradeoff studies completed and rotor system integration analysis completed to demonstrate the feasibility of developing foil bearings suitable for a wide range of applications at reduced development costs. A universal test rig for use in Phase II will also be conceived and a preliminary design completed.
