Project Number: 034
Category: Alternative Fuels
This project will integrate the efforts of the National Jet Fuel Combustion Program’s six areas (ASCENT 025-030), ensuring the program’s stated goals are achieved through collaboration among the groups.
This will ensure the goals and tasks outlined in the program are carried out on schedule and that data is shared between the researchers. The effort also will oversee the integration and archiving of data that is generated from the NJFCP program.
