as suggested by NASA’s SFW N+3 goals. Descriptions of the vehicle, the superconducting system, and the propulsion system were presented with some zeroth-order weight and efficiency comparisons to the multiple turbofan system. Preliminary analysis suggests that fuel savings may be greater than 6 percent for a turboelectric propulsion system compared to distributed discrete turbofans. Beyond fuel savings, however, turboelectric propulsion systems introduce a very high degree of aircraft design and operational flexibility as a result of decoupling power production from power consumption. Lightweight superconducting generators, motors and power cables allow a small number of large turbo- 109. generators to power an arbitrary number of propulsor units. Either can be placed practically anywhere and in various orientations on the vehicle. This flexibility opens up design possibilities not obtainable with discrete turbofans or with distributed propulsion systems that employ mechanical power distribution by gearboxes and shafts. VI. Acknowledgments The authors would like to acknowledge Ronald Kawai and Sean Wakayama at Boeing Technology/Phantom Works, and James Stone and Eugene Krejsa at Diversitech, Inc., for their contribution to the earlier cruise-efficient short take-off and landing (CESTOL) vehicle analysis. We are also appreciative for the helpful interaction with Albert Kascak and Jeffrey Berton at NASA Glenn Research Center, and Andrew Hahn at NASA Langley Research Center for providing comments on turboelectric CESTOL vehicle concepts. Finally, a special thanks goes to Fayette Collier, NASA’s Subsonic Fixed Wing project principal investigator at Langley Research Center, for his support on current CESTOL activity. References 1.
