A Comprehensive Approach to In-Flight Thrust Determination.

Abstract

A systematic, comprehensive approach was used recently to develop an in-flight thrust computational routine for a mixed-flow, dual spool, augmented turbofan engine with a variable area convergent-divergent exhaust nozzle. To provide an insight for the necessity of this approach, a brief historical background of in-flight thrust measurement is presented and classical nozzle theory is discussed briefly. The development of the computational routine is discussed and some general test planning guidelines are presented. (Author)
