Abstract

See full text

An after-burning turbo-fan engine system (10) includes turbo-fan engine (14) for producing exhaust gas (20), and jet thrust therefrom. After-burning chamber (16) receives turbo-fan exhaust and injects a controllable amount of fuel into turbo-fan exhaust to cause after burning of the turbo-fan exhaust to produce after-burned exhaust (20). Nozzle (18) associates with after-burning chamber (16) for receiving after-burned exhaust (20). Nozzle (18) has a fixed geometry. Nozzle (18) flow coefficient control mechanism (22 and 24) controls the approach of after-burned exhaust (20) through nozzle (18) to change the nozzle (18) flow coefficient. This controls the volumetric flow rate of after-burned exhaust (20) through the nozzle (18).
