Description
Florida Turbine Technologies (FTT) is seeking technology combinations that improve the performance, agility, reliability, maintainability, sustainability, and affordability of small Vertical Take-off and Landing (VTOL) aircraft / UAVs. FTT proposes the development of advanced adaptive turbine engine cycle concepts, based upon the existing FTT320 core engine architecture, which utilize a variable flow fan to allocate power between the fan and output shaft or alternator. The resulting 100hp - 200hp adaptive cycle turbine engines would smoothly transition between efficient high-speed forward flight with the turbofan, and vertical flight in the turbo-shaft or turbo-alternator mode.
