What mix proportion is used? And where is it introduced to the flowpath - at the compressor inlet, in the combustor, ...?
Finally - and this was news to me when I first heard it: B707-100 "water wagons" used all their water tankage on TO, and the water tank(s) was purged dry during climb, to prevent freezup at altitude. Do other aircraft do this as well, or do you retain unused w/m mix and just top up on the next leg?
