Emission calibration of a J-58 afterburning turbojet engine at simulated supersonic stratospheric flight conditions

Emissions of total oxides of nitrogen, unburned hydrocarbons, and carbon monoxide from a J-58 engine at simulated flight conditions of Mach 2.0, 2.4, and 2.8 at 19.8 km altitude are reported. For each flight condition, measurements were made for four engine power levels from maximum power without afterburning through maximum afterburning. These measurements were made 7 cm downstream of the engine primary nozzle using a single point traversing gas sample probe. Results show that emissions vary with flight speed, engine power level, and with radial position across the exhaust
