Outdoor test stand performance of a convertible engine with variable inlet guide vanes for advanced rotorcraft propulsion [PDF]

open access: yes
A variable inlet guide van (VIGV) type convertible engine that could be used to power future high-speed rotorcraft was tested on an outdoor stand. The engine ran stably and smoothly in the turbofan, turboshaft, and dual (combined fan and shaft) power ...

Feasibility of water injection into the turbine coolant to permit gas turbine contingency power for helicopter application [PDF]

open access: yes
A system which would allow a substantially increased output from a turboshaft engine for brief periods in emergency situations with little or no loss of turbine stress rupture life is proposed and studied analytically.
