Flyover and static tests to investigate external flow effect on jet noise from nonsuppressor and suppressor exhaust nozzles

The effect of external air flowing across exhaust nozzles on the jet noise characteristics of supersonic transport aircraft at high takeoff speeds was investigated. A series of flyover and static tests were conducted using an F-106B aircraft modified with two underwing nacelles each containing a calibrated J85-GE-13 turbojet engine. Comparison of flyover and static data indicated that external flow reduces the noise of an auxiliary inlet ejector nozzle. An unsuppressed plug nozzle was not affected while the plug suppressor configurations were not as effective in flight.

Flight investigation of airframe installation effects on an auxiliary inlet ejector nozzle on an underwing engine nacelle

The local flow field approaching an installed nozzle may vary from isolated test conditions, thereby affecting exhausting nozzle performance. An installation of general interest is a podded engine mounted near the aft lower surface of the wing. The effect of this installation on the performance of an auxiliary inlet ejector nozzle was investigated over a Mach number range of 0.7 to 1.3 by using a modified F-106B aircraft. Both floating and fixed-open door configurations were examined. The ejector nozzle trailing-edge flaps were simulated in the closed position with rigid structure which provided a boattail angle of 15 deg. Primary nozzle area was varied as exhaust gas temperature was varied between 982.2 and 2003.3 K.
