Abstract

Report presenting an experimental investigation in the altitude test chamber on an axial-flow turbojet engine at transonic flight conditions to determine the magnitude of thrust augmentation and to ascertain the operational characteristics of a combined augmentation system. Results regarding the augmented engine performance, influence of coolant on afterburner combustion, performance losses, and operational problems are provided.
