A -- GENERAL AVIATION PROPULSION PROGRAM - TURBINE PROPULSION SYSTEM SOL CAN-96-LERC-1 POC John P. Kuminski, Contracting Officer, (216) 433-2453, MS 500-305 Internet E-Mail: John.P.Kuminski@lerc.nasa.gov. NASA plans to initiate cooperative projects with industry for the development and demonstration of revolutionary turbine propulsion system(s) under the General Aviation Propulsion (GAP) Program, Turbine System Element. The overall goal of the GAP Program, Turbine Element is to develop and flight-demonstrate revolutionary turbine propulsion systems for light general aviation aircraft. The specific objectives of the Turbine System Element are to develop technologies and manufacturing processes for low cost, environmentally compliant, revolutionary turbine propulsion systems, and if proven feasible, to flight demonstrate a prototype system on an advanced aircraft system. NASA emphasizes partnering and cost-sharing with industry in an effort to revitalize the U.S. General Aviation Light Aircraft Industry. The solicitation vehicle being utilized for this program is a Cooperative Agreement Notice (CAN). A DRAFT copy of CAN-96-LERC-1 may be obtained by submitting a written request via fax to (216) 435-5185, or through the Internet at the following address: http://www.lerc.nasa.gov/Other_Groups/Procure/home.htm. All written requests must reference ''CAN-96-LERC-1,'' and include your company's name, phone number, and mailing address. It is anticipated that the draft CAN will be released fifteen (15) days after the publication of this announcement. Any comments, suggestions, or questions may be submitted in writing by April 29, 1996 to: NASA Lewis Research Center, Attn: John P. Kuminski, Contracting Officer, 21000 Brookpark Road - MS 500-305, Cleveland, OH 44135-3191. Please include two (2) copies of all correspondence. The final version of CAN-96-LERC-1 is expected to be released around May 13, 1996. (0082)
