Air Force Basic Research for Airbreathing Propulsion

The Air Force Office of Scientific Research provides financial support for basic research efforts in airbreathing propulsion. This support is divided among three subject areas: structural materials, combustion, and internal fluid mechanics. Summaries are given in each of those areas to address recent accomplishments which are candidates for transition to applied research and advanced technology. Future needs and opportunities for basic research also will be discussed.Copyright © 1991 by ASME
