Abstract
A review is made of test cell design options in order to identify
characteristics of jet engine test facilities to be constructed in the
1970's and designed to be operable for a minimum of twenty years.
The necessity of providing replacements for many current facilities
is documented, and the factors which will ensure future production
capability and economic feasibility are detailed. Present turbine
engines are reviewed and projections of future engines and aircraft
are made. A confidential supplement is included for qualified receivers. Experimental investigations of inlet flow patterns and engine
exhaust-augmenter relationships are being carried out. Results will be
published in thesis form in October 1972, by the Naval Postgraduate
School, Monterey, California.
