December 4, 2013

By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Journal of Engineering -- Investigators discuss new findings in Power Engineering. According to news reporting from Edwards AFB, California, by VerticalNews journalists, research stated, "The paper describes the challenges and solution methodologies associated with the flight test and evaluation of the propulsion system for a twin-engine military legacy aircraft. Recent flight-test programs evaluated the effects of temperature distortion and biased engine inlet total temperature measurement (TT2) on engine scheduling and compressor stability margin." The news correspondents obtained a quote from the research, "The challenges are associated with the limited instrumentation and the repeatability of the flight-test points. During the test program it was necessary to employ techniques to extend the usefulness of the data beyond that provided by the acquired and reduced data sets to address the challenges associated with flight-test analysis. The challenges were addressed using mathematical models, engine cycle decks, uninstalled ground-test data, computational fluid dynamics, or some combination of these." According to the news reporters, the research concluded: "Several specific challenges and solutions are described in detail in the paper."
