Tests of an Adjustable-Area Exhaust Nozzle for Jet-Propulsion Engines

Report discussing a comparison between a centrifugal-flow-type turbojet engine with an adjustable-area exhaust nozzle and with a series of fixed-area nozzles of various throat diameters. The adjustable-area nozzle was found to be as efficient as the fixed-area nozzles in testing. Information about the corrected static thrust, fuel flow, and tail-pipe gas temperature for both types of nozzles is provided.
