Theoretical comparison of several methods of thrust augmentation for turbojet engines (open access)

Theoretical comparison of several methods of thrust augmentation for turbojet engines

"A theoretical investigation of tail-pipe burning, water injection at the compressor inlet, combination tail-pipe burning plus water injection, bleedoff, and rocket-assist methods thrust augmentation for turbojet engines was made for an engine representative of those in current use. The effect of augmented liquid ratio on augmented thrust ratio and the effects of altitude and flight Mach number on the performance of various methods were determined. The additional take-off weight involved by the use of the different thrust augmentation methods, as well as the effect of the various thrust augmentation methods on the range of a representative aircraft was also investigated" (p. 727).

Method of Estimating the Minimum Size of a Tail or Wing-Tip Parachute for Emergency Spin Recovery of an Airplane (open access)

Method of Estimating the Minimum Size of a Tail or Wing-Tip Parachute for Emergency Spin Recovery of an Airplane

Paper presents a method for estimating the size of a tail or wing-tip parachute required for satisfactory emergency recovery of airplanes during spin demonstrations. The method was developed from an analysis of the results of investigations conducted in the 20-foot free-spinning tunnel with dynamically scaled models of 23 airplanes. Results regarding the conventional airplane, tailless aircraft, and estimation of shock load developed by the opening of the spin-recovery parachute.

Method of Estimating the Minimum Size of a Tail or Wing-Tip Parachute for Emergency Spin Recovery of an Airplane

Report presenting a method for estimating the size of a tail or wing-tip parachute required for satisfactory emergency recovery of airplanes during spin demonstrations. A comparison of the parachute sizes estimated by the method versus information obtained during experimentation indicated satisfactory agreement. Information about the calculations for a conventional and a tailless airplane is provided.

Theoretical Comparison of Several Methods of Thrust Augmentation for Turbojet Engines (open access)

Theoretical Comparison of Several Methods of Thrust Augmentation for Turbojet Engines

"A theoretical investigation has been made of various methods of thrust augmentation for turbojet engines. The method investigated were tail-pipe burning, water injection at the compressor inlet, a combination of tail-pipe burning and water injection, bleedoff in conjunction with water injection at the compressor inlet, and rocket assist. The effect of ratio of augmented-to-normal total liquid consumption, flight conditions, and design compressor pressure ratio on the augmentation produced by each method were determined" (p. 1).
