SUPERSONIC TRANSPORT AIRCRAFT ENGINE. PHASE 2-A DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM. VOLUME 1

Abstract

The program described herein was divided into seventeen major areas of effort corresponding to the tasks listed in the contract work statement. These areas included systems analyses, the completion of a preliminary design layout of the engine and the preparation of model and performance specifications. Research and development effort was performed on compressors, primary combustion, turbines, augmentors, inlet and exhaust systems, noise research, controls and accessories, bearings and seals, fuels and lubricants, and materials and manufacturing techniques. Investigations were conducted in the areas of operations and economics and supporting design considerations such as maintainability, reliability and value engineering.
