Flight Test Results of a J47-GE-25 Engine with a Modified Fuel System to Prevent RPM Drop-Off at Altitude.

Abstract

Flight tests were conducted on a J47-GE-25 engine with a modified fuel system designed to prevent the loss of full throttle engine speed which is normally experienced during altitude operation on the standard engine. The fuel system tested incorporated an 'orifice' and a modified flow divider in the fuel system. Two orifice sizes were tested using two different acceleration time settings.
