Engine performance is better for constant outer-spool mechanical-speed operation than for constant inner-spool mechanical-speed operation over most of the flight range considered. Combustor and afterburner frontal areas are about the same for the two modes. Engine performance for a mode characterized by a constant outer-spool equivalent speed over part of the flight range and a constant outer-spool mechanical speed over the rest of the flight range is better that that for constant outer-spool mechanical speed operation. The former mode requires larger outer-spool centrifugal stresses and larger component frontal areas.

Increased guide-vane turning resulted in poorer overall performance, the decrease being greatest at the highest rotor speed. Rotating stall originating at the tips of the first stage correlated with the knee in the stall-limit line. Increasing guide-vane turning shifted the first-stage stall-free performance and the knee in the stall-limit line to a lower engine speed. Opening the interstage bleed reduced the minimum rotor speed at which stall-free performance of the first stage was possible and tended to eliminate the knee in the stall-limit line.
