Authors Abstract
Content
An eight-stage transonic axial flow compressor was scaled to three-tenths its original size. The scaled compressor was built and tested as a separate component, and as a component of a gas turbine engine. This paper summarizes the work done on this compressor, including the aerodynamic design considerations and overall performance results.
