Well as long as you don't have limitations on where you will live there are plenty of opportunities at Lockheed Martin. We are in a constant state of hiring between here in Marietta and Fort Worth. Just apply at http://search.lockheedmartinjobs.com/ As for the A&P, it's really only useful if you...
Jump to postIf you work for a company like Lockheed or Northrup Grumman then I would say don't bother. But when you get involved in anything civilian like Boeing or Textron it might not be a bad idea to have one. What aspect of aviation are you looking to get into?
Jump to postYou can put any inlet you want. And I agree it would not work (I even said so in the original post). But the engine would produce some thrust .. I'm just wondering how inefficient it would be. When it comes to atmospheric flight (not space flight) you have to have at least a unity of exhaust gas ve...
Jump to postThe proposed Aerion supersonic bizjet has apparently signed a contract with GE to develop an engine specific to the aircraft. Even through Flexjet apparently has placed orders for 15 aircraft: I'd be very surprised if it ever goes beyond the prototype. They're also apparently working with Lockheed ...
Jump to postWouldn’t work, way too much drag even if you get the inlet velocity below M1.0 at the face with a very special inlet design. The exhaust velocity would be much too low. Supersonic flight is very dependent on inlet design recovering the pressure gradient and using it as thrust. Very rough explanatio...
Jump to postWish I could got ask one of the Skunkworks guys but I can't. But consider this. This is the fuel TFSC for the GE F101-GE-102 engine (without afterburner): 0.562 lb/(lbf h) (dry thrust) and a max dry thrust of 17,390 lb And this is the same for the CFM56-7B18 (which was derived from the above): 0.5 l...
Jump to postTwo words; bleedless & bleed. A bit more than that: they have different fan diameters and the smaller/lighter -2B 747 motor also drops one LPC and one HPC stage. The 748 doesn't need as much thrust per engine as the 787. If Revelation knew about the fan diameter and stage reductions, don't you ...
