Performance Only Map

This chart identifies the most promising technologies from the QFD assessment of the performance goals including weight. The order is different but the technologies making this list are similar to those on the previous two list. The notable exception is the Energy Management System. This technology has a high investment cost compared to other technologies, however, it includes several sub-technologies in addition to the J/IST (TEMM) such as advanced fuels and light weight heat exchangers. In addition, these investments might be adequate to validate to a TRL of Six without flight test.
