Synopsis for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) HyTEC

As part of the NASA Advanced Air Vehicles Program (AAVP), a new project is being formulated called Hybrid Thermally Efficient Core (HyTEC) in which NASA intends to accelerate the development of small turbofan engine core technologies, culminating in an advanced core demonstration in the 2026 timeframe. NASA GRC plans to issue a NASA Research Announcement (NRA) for HyTEC Small Core Technology Demonstration.

The HyTEC goal is to demonstrate increased thermal efficiency with integrated high power-density core engine technologies achieving a 5-10% fuel burn benefit, versus 2020 best in class, for early 2030s entry into service (EIS) single-aisle aircraft. In order to accomplish this, NASA intends to collaborate with industry in a cost sharing arrangement on key technologies that NASA can accelerate to strengthen the US industry position on highly efficient, power dense small cores for a future single aisle aircraft.

The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12.
