  1. Enhanced Combustion Pulsejet Engine (ECPE) for Mach 0 to 3 Applications Small Business Innovation Research Advanced Projects Research, Inc. La Verne, CA INNOVATION An advanced pulsejet engine with modern controls was demonstrated • ACCOMPLISHMENTS • Demonstrated ignition system for a pulsejet • Built and tested an advanced pulsejet engine • COMMERCIALIZATION • Received funding for continued development from the USAF AFRL. This is a five year Phase III SBIR contract funded to the $8M level • Advanced Projects Research, Inc. (APRI) has a $5M task order contract with NASA Glenn Research Center for PDE Development • Application of technology to regional jet engines has been examined with NASA funding. Favorable results were obtained • The APRI “pulsejet” technology stands as unique in the community of pulsed combustion • Interest by drone manufacturers for use as a drone engine. Will reduce engine cost substantially Enhanced Combustion Pulsejet Engine on Target Drone • GOVERNMENT/SCIENCE APPLICATIONS • Engine for unmanned air vehicle (UAV) under development • NASA’s interest in using this technology as part of a combined cycle engine • USAF interest in using this technology as a core or augmentor combustor for a gas-turbine engine Glenn Research Center Turbomachinery and Propulsion Systems 3-038 1995 Phase II, NAS3-97028, 7/99, rev 7/03 NASA Contact – H.
