CROSS-LIGHTING [2 records]

Record 1 1981-11-17

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aeroindustry
CONT

At low forward speed or at the hover, loss of combustion in a nozzle would be disastrous, involving not only loss of lift but also the introduction of a rolling moment that would be difficult to contain without great engineering penalties, using stabilization bleeds. Cross-lighting capability(the ability of the flame in one nozzle to initiate combustion in the other nozzle immediately after a flame-out) is therefore essential.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Constructions aéronautiques
CONT

En translation lente ou en vol stationnaire, l'extinction d'une tuyère serait catastrophique: outre une perte de portance elle provoquerait aussi un déséquilibre latéral qui serait difficile à compenser autrement que par des prélèvements de poussée stabilisatrice, lesquels pénaliseraient lourdement le moteur. L'allumage croisé (c'est-à-dire l'aptitude de la flamme à se propager dans la tuyère voisine en cas d'extinction de celle-ci) est donc indispensable.
