Experimental results of an investigation of two methods of inflight thrust measurement applicable to afterburning turbojet engines with ejectors

Description: Report presenting an investigation in an altitude test chamber using a turbojet engine equipped with an afterburner and ejector to compare directly two techniques of determining thrust that are both applicable to flight installations. One method uses a swinging uncooled rake at the ejector outlet while the other requires extensive instrumentation to measure the momentum forces of systems and the force on the internal surface of the ejector nozzle. Results regarding the swinging-rake technique a… more

Altitude performance and operational characteristics of 29-inch-diameter tail-pipe burner with several fuel systems and fuel-cooled stage-type flame holders on J35-A-5 turbojet engine

Description: An investigation of tail-pipe burning was conducted in the NACA Lewis altitude wind tunnel with a full-scale turbojet engine and an 29-inch-diameter tail-pipe burner. Effects of fuel distribution and number and arrangement of stages on performance and operational characteristics of several fuel-cooled flame holders are presented and discussed. Operation with a three-stage flame holder having the large stage upstream was the most efficient. Combustion efficiency was slightly increased at high al… more

Investigation of altitude starting and acceleration characteristics of J47 turbojet engine

Description: An investigation was conducted on an axial-flow-compressor type turbojet engine in the NACA Lewis altitude wind tunnel to determine the operational characteristics of several ignition systems, cross-fire tube configurations and fuel systems over a range of simulated flight conditions. The opposite-polarity-type spark plug provided the most satisfactory ignition. Increasing the cross-fire-tube diameter improved intercombustor flame propagation. At high windmilling speeds, accelerations to approx… more

Preliminary Internal Performance Data for a Variable-Ejector Assembly on the XJ79-GE-1 Turbojet Engine, 2, Afterburning Configurations

Description: Internal performance of an XJ79-GE-1 variable ejector was experimentally determined with the primary nozzle in two representative after-burning positions. Jet-thrust and air-handling data were obtained in quiescent air for 4 selected ejector configurations over a wide range of secondary to primary airflow ratios and primary-nozzle pressure ratios. The experimental ejector data are presented in both graphical and tabulated form.

Preliminary Internal Performance Data for a Variable-Ejector Assembly on the XJ79-GE-1 Turbojet Engine 1: Nonafterburning Configurations

Description: "Internal performance of an XJ79-GE-1 variable ejector was experimentally determined with the primary nozzle in a representative nonafterburning position. Jet-thrust and air-handling data were obtained in quiescent air for 11 selected ejector configurations over a wide range of operation. Additional data, at specific operating conditions, were obtained which indicate the ejector diameter ratio for peak jet-thrust performance. The experimental ejector data are presented in both graphical and tab… more

Preliminary Altitude Performance Characteristics of the J57-P-1 Turbojet Engine with Fixed-Area Exhaust Nozzle

Description: An investigation to determine the altitude performance of the J57-P-1 turbojet engine and components was conducted at the NACA Lewis altitude wind tunnel. Data were obtained over a corrected inboard rotor speed range from 56 to 106 percent of rated speed, with intercompressor bleeds both open and closed, at altitudes from 15,000 to 50,000 feet and at a flight Mach number of 0.81. The corresponding range of Reynolds number indices was from 0.858 to 0.213. All data presented were obtained with a … more

Performance of a turbojet engine with adjustable first-stage turbine stator and variable-area exhaust nozzle

Description: The performance of a turbojet engine with a two-stage turbine, an adjustable first-stage turbine stator, and a variable-area exhaust nozzle was investigated at selected constant engine speeds and two simulated flight conditions. For the particular component characteristics of the engine investigated, little improvement in thrust levels of interest by use of an adjustable rather than an optimum fixed first-stage turbine stator.

Altitude investigation of XJ34-WE-32 engine performance without electronic control

Description: From Introduction: "As a part of the comprehensive investigation of the XJ34-WE-32 engine conducted in the NACA Lewis altitude wind tunnel, the over-all-performance was determined over a range of altitudes and flight Mach numbers. Other phases of the investigation are reported in reference 1. The results are given in tables and also in graphical form to show the trends of engine performance associated with changes of altitude, flight Mach number, and exhaust-nozzle area."

Altitude Performance and Operational Characteristics of YJ71-A-7 Turbojet Engine

Description: "Altitude performance of a YJ71-A-7 turbojet engine, with afterburner inoperative, was determined in the NACA Lewis altitude wind tunnel over a wide range of flight conditions. Engine speed and exhaust-nozzle area were controlled independently during this investigation. The variation of corrected values of air flow, net thrust, and fuel flow with corrected engine speed was not defined by a single curve with changes in altitude at given flight Mach number" (p. 1).
