Next generation aircraft entering service in 2020 have the potential to achieve range increases of up to 50% or reductions in fuel burn of up to 30% relative to a Year 2000 airplane. Advances in composites and propulsion technologies are the primary performance contributors. Propulsion system efficiencies will contribute most of the total fuel burn reduction. This paper examines the parameters that obtain this performance and assesses the relative merit of various propulsion configurations. Technical parameters of specific fuel consumption, weight, acoustics, and reliability are evaluated. Turbofans are compared to turbopropfans in both single and counterrotating configurations and installation effects are examined. Acquisition and direct operating cost are also considered.
