DEVELOPMENT OF A SUPERSONIC TRANSPORT AIRCRAFT ENGINE. PHASE 2C

Abstract

The first experimental engine completed 11.68 hours of testing, including 27 minutes operation with the duct heater lit. Subsequent disassembly revealed no major problems. Objectives for the first build of the engine were attained. The rebuilt high compressor rig testing was continued with simulated Build No. 5 fan discharge profiles at the high compressor inlet. No adverse effect was observed in over-all compressor performance or stress level. The rig is being rebuilt with re operated parts to increase the work load in the middle stages. A Preliminary Engine Specification for the JTF17A-21L was issued for the application of an increased airflow study version of the JTF17A-20 engine.
