TF30-P-7 Installed Trim Correction.

Abstract

This report summarizes the findings from engineering tests conducted to determine causes of observed TF30-P-7 engine performance shift during operation of the FB-111A aircraft. Details of the test conducted at Pease AFB during September 1974 are given along with analysis of the data by P/WA, GD/FW, and Hq SAC/LGME. Measurement of ambient temperature, instrument uncertainty in the trim procedure, and assumption of constant inlet operation for simplification were found to be the prime causes of the apparent performance or trim shift. Recommendations for improvement are given. (Author)
