The goal of the partnership is to leverage the complementary missions of deployment and commercialization (DOE) and fundamental research and education (NSF) to address the efficiency of the internal combustion engine (ICE). Liquid fuels have dominated transportation systems for over a century and will continue to do so for decades to come.

The unthrottled nature of the compression ignition process provides high engine efficiency while achieving compliant exhaust emissions with conventional, low-cost aftertreatment. This—in addition to the opposed engine architecture—could increase fuel efficiency by 40-50% over the comparable spark-ignited gasoline engine, Achates said.

E-Thrust is a “series hybrid” electrical distributed propulsion system concept using one gas power unit providing the electrical power for six fans for lower fuel consumption, fewer emissions and less noise. EADS is also cooperating with Rolls-Royce on a future distributed propulsion system concept (DEAP) for full-size passenger aircraft.

JP-8 is a kerosene-base jet fuel, similar to Jet-A for commercial aviation. Generally speaking, noted AVL researchers in a paper on the problem (Johnson & Hunter 2012), military-grade jet fuels have higher energy content on a mass basis (as a result of the higher hydrogen to carbon ratio), but lower energy density on a volume basis.
