Lessons tobelearnedfrom this "SERJ Story" are offered forconsiderationby today's advancedspacetransportationand combined-cyclepropulsionresearchersand forward-planningcommunities.AUTHORS'PERSPECTIVESAs active participantsinNASA'sadvancedspace transportationdevelopmentfield (see"Acknowledgments"section ofthe paper), the authors express some concern that therelevanceofthe engine development history related here, tosuch ongoing spaceflightactivities,willnotalwaysbe clearto thereader.Afterall,thepropulsionapplicationfocuscoveredis high-performancemilitaryaircraft,notreusablespacetransports.Afurtherconcernwehaveis that,sincetheSERJengineneverevolvedbeyonditsexploratory-develo...
