NASA's Lewis Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio, awarded a $6.6 million, four-year contract to General Electric for definition, modification, and test of propulsion systems for supersonic short takeoff and vertical landing technology development. In support of next century military aircraft, design and modification of a GE F-110 engine would focus on a fan air collection and valving system by taking compressed air from the engine and redirecting it to vertical lift producing devices.
