Question 18
Question
Q2. What kind of engines are used nowadays in modern fighters?
Question 19
Question
Q3. Why the afterburner is an inefficient method to increase the thrust
Answer
-
Because it implies more drag inside engine
-
Indeed, it is a really efficient method, especially in military aviation
-
Because of increment in thrust, that is proportional to (Tpc)^1/2 / (T noPC)^1/2
-
Because the increment in thrust follows a linear gradient, so that is not too much.
