- With fuel now largest component of operating
costs, air carriers are turning to fuel-saving
measures that once seemed hardly worthwhile - Upswept wingtips to increase range and improve
aerodynamics - Taxi to and from runway on one engine to save
fuel - Does it make sense to actually fly slower?
- Do you polish an airplane or paint it?
- Airlines have new program to wash their
aircraft/engines - Other cost saving measures
- 1st and 2nd bag check fee (and many others new
fees) - Remove all pillows from MD-80s

22WHY AIR-BREATHING PROPULSION
- Propulsion Goal Create a Force to Propel a
Vehicle (N.S.L) - 2 Choices for Propulsion
- Take mass stored in a vehicle and throw it
backwards ? Use reaction force to propel vehicle - Rocket Propulsion (MAE 4262)
- All fuel and oxidizer are carried onboard vehicle
- Capture mass from environment and set that mass
in motion backwards ? Use reaction force to
propel vehicle - Air-Breathing Propulsion (MAE 4261)
- Only fuel is carried onboard
- Oxidizer (air) is harvested continuously during
flight - Airplanes are very sensitive to environment in
which they operate - Rockets are highly insensitive to operational
environment
23HOW ALL ROCKET WORKS
- Rocket Propulsion Produces thrust by ejecting
stored matter - Propellants combined in combustion chamber where
chemically react to form high TP gas - Gases accelerated and ejected at high velocity
through nozzle, imparting momentum to engine - Thrust force is reaction experienced by structure
due to ejection of high velocity matter - Same phenomenon pushes garden hose backward as
water flows from nozzle, gun recoil - QUESTION
- Could a rocket engine exert thrust while
discharging into a vacuum (with not atmosphere to
push against)?

Thermal Energy
Kinetic Energy
- Flow through engine is conventionally called
THRUST - Composed of net change in momentum of inlet and
exit air - Fluid that passes around engine is conventionally
called DRAG
25SUMMARY ESTIMATES FOR THRUST
Rocket Air-Breathing Engine
- Points to remember
- Mass flow for rocket is propellant carried
onboard (fuel oxidizer) - Mass for air-breathing engine is fuel carried
onboard and air harvested from environment as
airplane flies - Rockets usually require far higher thrust levels
than airplanes - Airplanes usually fly for far greater durations
than rockets

29MAJOR GAS TURBINE ENGINE COMPONENTS
- Inlet
- Continuously draw air into engine through inlet
- Slows, or diffuses, to compressor
- Compressor / Fan
- Compresses air
- Generally two, or three, compressors in series
- Raises stagnation temperature and pressure
(enthalpy) of flow - Work is done on the air
- Combustor
- Combustion or burning processes
- Adds fuel to compressed air and burns it
- Converts chemical to thermal energy
- Process takes place at relatively constant
pressure
30MAJOR GAS TURBINE ENGINE COMPONENTS
- Turbine
- Generally two or three turbines in series
- Turbine powers, or drives, the compressor
- Air is expanded through turbine (P T ?)
- Work is done by the air on the blades
- Use some of that work to drive compressor
- Next
- Expand in a nozzle
- Convert thermal to kinetic energy (turbojet)
- Burning may occur in duct downstream of turbine
(afterburner) - Expand through another turbine
- Use this extracted work to drive a fan (turbofan)
- Nozzle
- Flow is ejected back into the atmosphere, but
with increased momentum - Raises velocity of exiting mass flow

57X-43A DETAILS
58NASA'S X-43A SCRAMJET BREAKS SPEED RECORD
- NASA's X-43A research vehicle screamed into the
record books again Tuesday, demonstrating an
air-breathing engine can fly at nearly 10 times
the speed of sound. Preliminary data from the
scramjet-powered research vehicle show its
revolutionary engine worked successfully at
nearly Mach 9.8, or 7,000 mph, as it flew at
about 110,000 feet. - NASA's X-43A scramjet program successfully
smashed its own world speed record for aircraft
by flying at nearly 10 times the speed of sound.
The flight proves its radical, air-breathing
engine can function at speeds of nearly 12,000
kilometers per hour. - Aviation history was made today as NASA
successfully flew its experimental X-43A research
vehicle, a forerunner of craft that could well
offer alternate access to space in the future.
59AIRCRAFT ENGINE BASICS
- All aircraft engines are HEAT ENGINES
- Utilize thermal energy derived from combustion of
fossil fuels to produce mechanical energy in form
of kinetic energy of an exhaust jet - Momentum excess of exhaust jet over incoming
airflow produces thrust - Thrust Force Time Rate Change of Momentum
- In studying these devices we will employ two
types of modeling - Fluid Mechanic
- Relate changes in pressure, temperature and
velocity of air to physical characteristics of
engine - Thermodynamic (Cycle Analysis)
- Thermal ? mechanical energy from thermal is
studied using thermodynamics - Study change in thermodynamic state of air as
passed through engine - Geometry of engine NOT important, but rather
processes are important
