Effect of Exhaust of F-100A Aircraft on Airfield Pavements. Summary of Results of Tests at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Arizona

摘要

The purpose of the tests summarized in the report was to determine the effect of the exhaust blast on pavements and to measure pavement temperatures during operations of the F-100A aircraft. The J57-P-7 propulsion unit of the F-100A aircraft develops considerably higher thrust than planes previously tested and is equipped with an afterburner. The types of pavement for consideration were asphaltic concrete, tar-rubber concrete (two types), and portland cement concrete. (Author)
