COMMERCIAL SUPERSONIC TRANSPORT ENGINE PROPOSAL. VOLUME E-IV(F). ENGINE PERFORMANCE REPORT

Abstract

This report presents performance of the General Electric GE4/F6A turbofan Engine using fuel conforming to GE Commercial Jet Fuel Specification A50T27A date November 11, 1963. Performance is presented in tabulated form over most of the engine operating range. Accurate performance can be obtained directly for many flight conditions, and simple interpolation will yield engine performance for most flight conditions within the flight envelope. Installation effects can be accounted for by applying the given correction factors. Flight performance curves are also included to give a compact graphical presentation of engine performance.
