A summary is given of the results of a NASA program for reducing the cost of turbojet and turbofan engines. The design, construction, and testing of a simple turbojet, designed for use in missiles, is described. Low cost axial stage fabrication, the design of a fan jet engine, suitable for propulsion of light aircraft, and application of such engines to provide higher flight speeds, are discussed.
