DEVELOPMENT OF A SUPERSONIC TRANSPORT AIRCRAFT ENGINE. PHASE II-C

Abstract

Engine FX-161 has completed a program at simulated cruise conditions with inlet distortion representative of the maximum level for the intended installations. The engine did not encounter stall or surge and no measurable effect on engine performance was noted. Engine disassembly to date has shown no parts discrepancies and the engine is scheduled to be reassembled for sea level testing in December.
