- Description
- The FY 2002 Congressional Conference Report on the budget, Report 107-308 directed funds ??.for the General Aviation Propulsion-Compression Ignition Test and Evaluation Program (GAP-CITEP), a joint FAA-NASA effort to evaluate alternative fuels to facilitate the transition away from leaded fuels for general aviation aircraft.? Teledyne Continental Motors, Inc.(TCMI), of Mobile, Alabama had previously participated in the General Aviation Propulsion (GAP) program under the auspices of a NASA Cooperative Agreement, NCC3-515, that produced a prototype compression ignition (diesel) engine with potential application in general aviation. Some areas of the research on that prototype engine remain to be accomplished. Since TCMI is the manufacturer and owner of the prototype engine referenced by Congress, and the NASA Cooperative Agreement has expired, the Federal Aviation Administration now intends to enter into a single source procurement with TCMI, relative to continuing feas! ibility research to determine the cold starting characteristics and alternative fuel performance of the TCMI?s general aviation compression ignition engine. It is estimated that the period of performance for this effort will take 18 months from award of contract, with award anticipated by the end of September 2002.
