Acceleration Characteristics of a Turbojet Engine With Variable-Position Inlet Guide Vanes

One of 5,157 reports in the series: NACA Research Memorandums available on this site.

PDF Version Also Available for Download.

Description

Report presenting a study of the acceleration characteristics of a turbojet engine equipped with variable-position inlet guide vanes in the altitude test chamber. Maximum acceleration values for 3 engines of the same model were also obtained during testing and were found to differ as much as 50 percent. Results regarding the effect of fuel step size and inlet guide vane on acceleration, effect of flight condition, reproducibility of engine acceleration, compressor pressure ratio in relation to acceleration, and acceleration with inlet air distortion are provided.
