Concorde has many interesting technical features, but its variable geometry engine air in-take system has to stand out as one of the most outstanding ones. Its function is required to ensure that the Olympus engines get just the right amount of air moving at the correct speed through a wide variety of airspeeds.

Concorde is the only civil airliner in service with a 'military style' afterburner system installed to produce more power at key stages of the flight. The reheat system, as it is officially known, injects fuel into the exhaust, and provides 6,000Lb of the total available thrust per engine at take off.

This section covers Concordes MASSIVE engines, Intakes and Exhaust Nozzles. Concorde was truly groundbreaking technology, find out about th eintakes system and how air travelling at 1350 Mph was slowed down to around 600 Mph in just 14 feet.

This has the potential to completely change the game for air travel. Concorde cut the journey time from London to New York to under three and a half hours. With the SABRE engine, the journey time could be cut to 2 hours in air breathing mode or just 24 minutes in rocket mode!

Each engine nacelle consists of hydraulically controlled variable-area (by ramp) air intake, engine bay and nozzle support structure. Reverser buckets, which are also used as secondary nozzle, are actuated by ball-screw jacks driven by compressed air through flexible shafts.

2010年9月9日 · As the airlow travels through the carefully controlled and complex inlet shock system, it exhibits a 600% rise in Static Pressure Ps, this huge pressure rise reacts against the divergent wall of the intake, giving us colossal amounts of thrust. Take a look at this quote from ' The Concorde Air Intake Control System:

intake. This meant that the intake was required to reduce the airspeed from Mach 1.91 down to Mach 0.5 between the front of the air intake and the front of the engine, i.e. the compressor face. At the same time the air intake was required to allow the aircraft to operate at comparatively low speeds during take-off, landing and subsonic flight.

One VCE engine variant and the turbojet are preliminarily designed and their mass including air-intake and nozzle is estimated. The airintake has been sized and pressure recovery and mass flow...
