DEVELOPMENT OF A SUPERSONIC TRANSPORT AIRCRAFT ENGINE, PHASE II-B.

Abstract

Current developments included: (1) The detailed work plan for the Phase II-B development effort was submitted to the FAA on 11 January 1965; (2) Meetings were held to discuss installation and performance problems and the Phase II-B fuel control program; (3) Detailed design of the STF-219 engine was started on the basis of a 700 lb/sec airflow and a cruising velocity of Mach 2.7; (4) A total of 557 endurance cycles (alternating between idle and 2300 F turbine inlet temperature) were completed on the JT4 high spool engine; (5) Reassembly of the full-scale duct burner rig was completed and testing was initiated; (6) Studies were conducted to determine the effect of inlet airflow Mach number on compressor noise attenuation; (7) A laboratory investigation was started on ASTM Type fuels samples furnished by twelve refineries.
