Aircraft Engine Performance Analysis

Aircraft Engine Historical testing and Performance modeling to quantifyengine and supercharger air flow characteristics in supportof Rolls- royce merlin development began in the late status of this work was summarized in an internalRolls- royce Report in March, 1941 and made public by theRolls- royce Heritage Trust in paper introduces a generalized method of predictingand comparing Aircraft Engine Performance under flightconditions. Information in the Rolls- royce Report is ana-lyzed in this generalized manner, allowing comparison ofMerlin and Allison V-1710 Performance , which helps vali-date the from the Rolls- royce Report is reconciled with otheravailable data to conclude:V-1710 volumetric efficiency was somewhat higherthan the merlin 's and is readily explained by differencesin valve timing, intake passage design, and compressionratio;An error exists in the method for determining Merlinfriction and pumping characteristics described byStanley Hooker in his autobiography;Friction and pumping characteristics of the Merlinand V-1710 are similar;Supercharger perform
