Progress with the Olympus 593
WITH less than a year to go before the first flight of the Concorde it is heartening to learn that good progress is being made with the powerplant. In fact reports from Patchway…
The Olympus 593 Powerplant for Concorde: An account of the development of the Olympus 593 as the optimum powerplant for the Anglo/French SST
Derek J. JohnSUMMARY THE optimum powerplant for a Mach 2.2 transport aircraft is a turbojet. The Olympus 593, latest of a well‐proven family of twin spool, axial flow turbojets has been…
Olympus 593 Control System: A description of the engine control system philosophy adopted for the powerplants of the Concorde SST
C.E.G. PayneCONTROL SYSTEM PHILOSOPHY THE prime functions of any engine control system arc to provide stable speed governing and protection against overstressing the engine. Speed control is…
The Effect of Metals and Alloys on the Thermal Stability of Avtur 50: An evaluation of the effects of the materials used in fuel distribution systems on the thermal stability of the fuel and their importance in relation to supersonic transport requirements
J.D. SmithThe effects of a number of metals and alloys on the thermal stability of Avtur 50 have been evaluated from ASTM‐CRC and high temperature coker tests. The materials tested are used…
The Reduction of Tank Treatment Costs: A description of a method of using a plastic ball blanket on open treatment tanks to reduce the cost of surface preparation for protective painting
IN aircraft engineering as in other industries it is often necessary to make use of open process tanks. Such tanks are generally at elevated temperatures and are both inefficient…
Analysis of Flat Plates under General Loading by an Iterative Matrix Technique: A description of a matrix force iterative technique for the solution of large displacement problems
R.F. WilliamsTO establish the strength and stiffness of certain types of structure it is necessary to use a large displacement theory, i.e. one in which allowance is made for the…
