Blast Induced Distortion Experiments on an Engine Inlet

Abstract

This report briefly reviews the results of the Kaman AviDyne/AEDC experimental program funded by DNA. The purpose of this program was to develop an experimental technique that could be used to define the nuclear-blast-induced distortion at the inlet/engine interface of aircraft and air-breathing missiles. The result of the test program have been evaluated as has the potential impact of these results on other air-breathing engines with inlets having different L/D values. (Author)
