The high temperature ratio across the afterburner results in a good thrust boost. If the aircraft burns a large percentage of its fuel with the afterburner alight, it pays to select an engine cycle with a high specific thrust (i.e. high fan pressure ratio/low bypass ratio). The resulting engine is relatively fuel efficient with afterburning (i ...
It was later adapted with an afterburner for supersonic designs, and in this form it was the world's first production afterburning turbofan, going on to power the F-111 and the F-14A Tomcat, as well as being used in early versions of the A-7 Corsair II without an afterburner. First flight of the TF30 was in 1964 and production continued until 1986.
Turbine inlet temperature: 1,850 K (1,577 °C; 2,870 °F) Fuel consumption: 3,977 kg/h (8,770 lb/h) and 12,695 kg/h (27,990 lb/h) (with afterburner) Specific fuel consumption : 22.14 g/(kN⋅s) (0.782 lb/(lbf⋅h)) and 47.11 g/(kN⋅s) (1.663 lb/(lbf⋅h)) (with afterburner)
The J85 was originally designed to power a large decoy missile, the McDonnell ADM-20 Quail.The Quail was designed to be released from a B-52 Stratofortress in-flight and fly for long distances in formation with the launch aircraft, multiplying the number of targets facing the SA-2 surface-to-air missile operators on the ground.
The Pratt & Whitney J58 (company designation JT11D-20) is an American jet engine that powered the Lockheed A-12, and subsequently the YF-12 and the SR-71 aircraft. It was an afterburning turbojet engine with a unique compressor bleed to the afterburner that gave increased thrust at high speeds.
Klimov VK-1F turbojet with afterburner. An afterburner is a propulsive duct in which high velocity exhaust from an engine turbine is converted into pressure in a diffuser. Afterburner fuel is burned with the oxygen in the dilution air which was not involved in the engine combustion process. The gas expands in a nozzle with an increase in velocity.
The new compressor should be about 3% more efficient. The new high-pressure turbine uses new materials and a new way of delivering cooling air to the blades. These changes should increase the turbine temperature capability by about 150 °F (83 °C). [9] The EDE is designed to have better foreign object damage resistance, and a reduced fuel burn ...
The Afterburner lighting kit by Triton Labs is an aftermarket modification to the Game Boy Advance in which a frontlight is installed into the unit. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Afterburner was discontinued after the Game Boy Advance SP released because it had a built-in light (front light).
