Summary

• Engine innovation delivering green performance gains– ~15% fuel burn improvements entering service in 2013-16– ~30% fuel burn gains in 2025~2030

• New aircraft configurations may offer dramatic gains– Significant gain comes from optimization for low flight speed (M~.74)– Most attractive for shorter range applications– But, significant technical risk may require an X-plane first

• Quiet, geared ducted propulsion is the future– UHB dramatically drops noise and fuel burn & increases value– PurePower® Engines set a new standard for the next 30+ years
