This document summarizes an innovative turbo compound internal combustion engine concept for UAV applications. The proposed engine design features a two-stroke, uniflow configuration with stratified spark ignition combustion and lean direct fuel injection. A thermodynamic cycle analysis was performed which showed the engine concept has the potential for higher combustion efficiency and specific fuel consumption less than 0.3 lbs/hp-hr, about half of conventional turbo props. The design incorporates a supercharger, exhaust driven turbine, and power turbine geared to the crankshaft to extract additional power from exhaust gases. Preliminary analysis indicates the design offers improved efficiency and lower emissions over conventional two-stroke engines.
