==Objective==

The objective of ADVENT is to develop an engine that is optimized for several design points, rather than the traditional single point. Instead of having an engine that is designed solely for high speed (like many current fighter engines are) or for high [[fuel efficiency]] (like many current commercial engines are), the final ADVENT engine would be designed to operate at both those conditions.<ref name="wppress">Barr, Larine.
