Preliminary Transient Performance Data on the J73 Turbojet Engine, 3: Altitude, 45,000 Feet

Description: "A program was undertaken to determine the J73 turbojet engine compressor stall and surge characteristics and combustor blow-out limits encountered during transient engine operation. Data were obtained in the form of oscillograph traces showing the time history of several engine parameters with changes in engine fuel flow. The data presented in this report are for step and ramp changes in fuel flow at an altitude of 45,000 feet and flight Mach numbers of 0 and 0.8" (p. 1).

Some Operating Experience and Problems Encountered During Operation of a Free-Jet Facility

Description: During a free-jet investigation of a 28-inch ram-jet engine at a Mach number of 2.35, flow pulsation at the engine inlet were discovered which proved to have an effect on the engine performance and operational characteristics, particularly the engine rich blowout limits. This report discusses the finding of the flow pulsations, their elimination, and effect. Other facility characteristics, such as the establishment of flow simulation and the degree of subcritical operation of the diffuser, are also explained.

Some Altitude Operational Characteristics of a Prototype Iroquois Turbojet Engine, COORD. NO. AF-P-6

Description: The evaluation of the altitude operational characteristics was part of the over-all investigation of the early developmental Iroquois engine. Engine steady-state windmilling characteristics were evaluated over a range of flight Mach numbers from 0.48 to 1.72 at altitudes of 35,000 and 50,000 feet. Engine altitude ignition limits were obtained over a range of flight Mach numbers from 0.5 to 1.5 with the standard engine ignition system and also with an oxygen boost system. A short investigation of high-speed altitude reignition following combustor blowout was conducted.

Altitude Wind Tunnel Investigation of the Prototype J40-WE-8 Turbojet Engine Without Afterburner

Description: From Introduction: "As part of a comprehensive investigation of the J40 turbojet engine conducted at the NACA Lewis altitude wind tunnel, the steady-state engine performance of the prototype J40-WE-8 turbojet engine without afterburner was obtained and is presented herein. A basic redesign of the compressor and other modifications in the compressor and the combustor were incorporated in the XJ40-WE-6 turbojet engine (references 2 and 3). In this report the modified engine is designated "the prototype J40-WE-8 without afterburner."

Altitude Performance Characteristics of Tail-Pipe Burner With Converging Conical Burner Section on J47 Turbojet Engine

Description: From Introduction: "The effect of flame-holder and fuel-system design on the burner performance and the effect of altitude and flight Mach number on over-all performance with a fixed-area exhaust nozzle are reported in reference 1 to 4. Altitude performance characteristics of a tail-pipe burner having a converging conical burner section are presented in this report. Tail-pipe burner performance at several flight conditions is given in both tabular and graphical forms and compared with performance of the standard engine and of the tail-pipe burner reported in reference 2."

Preliminary Free-Jet Performance of XRJ43-MA-3 Flight-Weight Ram-Jet Engine at Mach Numbers of 2.35, 2.50, and 2.70

Description: From Summary: "The performance of the XRJ43-MA-3 flight-weight ram-jet engine has been investigated in a free-jet facility as part of the development program for the "Bomarc," ram-jet powered, interceptor-type missile. The engine performance was obtained at Mach numbers of 2.35, 2.50, and 2.70, altitudes from 50,000 to 75,000 feet, and Miami hot day and cold day inlet temperatures at an angle of attack of +4 deg. At each flight condition investigated, the engine control set an inner-ring fuel flow which was held constant as outer-ring fuel flow was varied."
