Development of a Fast Response Intake Air Temperature Recorder for the Mirage IIIO Aircraft.

Abstract

In-flight ingestion of missile exhaust efflux or gun gas tends to cause instability in an aircraft turbine engine, usually due to the reaction of the engine compressor to associated inlet temperature fluctuations. The temperature transients involved are generally too rapid to permit measurement with conventional instrumentation. A system was developed for in-flight fast response measurement and recording of temperature variations at the compressor face of the ATAR 09C engine in the RAAF Mirage III0). The development and operation are described of a fast response temperature probe and associated instrument package for the in-flight recording of air temperature variations in the inlet to the Atar 09C engine, of the Mirage III0 Aircraft.
