| Description | Three propulsion systems for a Mach 2 STOVL fighter were compared. The three propulsion systems are: (1) turbine bypass engine with a turbocompressor used for STOVL only; (2) turbine bypass engine with a turbocompressor for both STOVL and thrust during forward flight; and (3) mixed flow afterburning turbofan with a remote burner lift system. In the first system, the main engines have afterburners and the turbocompressors use after burning during STOVL. In the second system, the turbine bypass engines are dry and the turbocompressors have afterburners. The mission used in the study is a deck launched intercept mission. It is indicated that large improvements in combat time are possible when the turbocompressors are used for both left and thrust for forward flight. |
