Ultra-Efficient Engine Technology Program

The Ultra-Efficient Engine Technology Program (UEET) is a NASA program which will work to develop and hand off revolutionary turbine engine propulsion technologies that will enable future generation vehicles over a wide range of flight speeds.

The Ultra-Efficient Engine Technology Program is known by its abbreviation UEET. It is a NASA program whose members are working to develop and create new propulsion technologies which can be turned over to US companies. Working together with the American companies UEET hopes to enable a new generation of cleaner, high-performance aircraft.

By working together with US companies, NASA can perform research aimed at more efficient, safe and environmentally friendly propulsion systems for future aircraft and space vehicles. They will work to have fuel burn reduced by 15%. That will reduce the amount of CO2 that is released into the atmosphere. They will work design engines that will have NOx levels reduced by 70%.

The partner companies will work with NASA engineers and scientists to plan and develop many new engine concepts. They will work to develop new materials to engines, new methods of using fuel in the combustors, and use computer simulation to determine the engines strengths.
