Extract

The permanent urgency of aircraft design during the author’s career at Hawker Aircraft, a.k.a. British Aerospace Kingston, inhibited publication of his advances of theory. So he collected those on propulsion and presented them to the Royal Aeronautical Society in a lecture “Some Unpublished Contributions to Propulsion Theory” on 11 March 1992. The meeting proposed that the material should be published in full, and F. W. Armstrong helpfully suggested that the best way for future reference would be to divide the material into Technical Notes on related topics, each capable of standing alone. These have been reworked to stand separately, as follows:

  • 1) Fuel consumption formulae and the general range equation

  • 2) The Stream Force Theorem and applications to propulsion

  • 3) Non-isentropic duct flow and the general wake traverse

  • 4) Propulsion streamtubes in supersonic flow and the first supercritical intake cowl

  • 5) Rotary jet thrust augmenters

  • (a) fallacy of Foa’s theory and correction

  • (b) the jet fan augmenter.
