The influence of on-design bypass turbine engine parameters on multipurpose aircraft missions energy-consuming

In the article there was presented a quality assessment of parameters selection of bypass turbine engine for a multipurpose aircraft. It was assumed that the assessment criterion results from the energy-consumption of a flight. The criteria of energy-consumption range were defined as the relation of sum ofenergy supplied to the aircraft on the driven stages to the distance during a mission. The second criterion of unitary energy-consumption is defined as the relation of the movement energy-consumption to the product of the aircraft mass and the route during the elementary stage of the flight. With the use of the already worked out models of the power unit (bypass turbine engine with jet mixer and afterburner) of an aircraft (already known mass and aerodynamic characteristics) there were determined the ranges of thrust which are indispensable for a flight and available for the engine at each stage of the mission: take off, climb, subsonic and supersonic flight and turn with different overload factor. On the example of three chosen aircraft missions (Lo-Lo-Lo, Hi-Lo-Hi and Hi-Hi-Hi) the models of mission energy-consumption were developed. For the accepted change ranges of the comparative cycle parameters of the turbine engine the run of energy-consumption was tested. It was stated that for the assumed data the most energy-consuming mission is Lo-Lo-Lo, wherefore the increase of the compression and the rate of bypass reduces the energy-consumption of the mission.
