Impact of Soft Bodies on Jet Engine Fan Blades

Abstract

The momentum transferred to J-79 jet engine fan blades through impact with soft body projectiles was measured. Impacts onto stainless steel disks mounted normal to and 25 deg to trajectory were also investigated. Elementary analytical models of the momentum transfer were constructed for each of the three configurations.
