Water ingestion (jets)
Hello, and I'm wondering if anyone out there can help me understand how a jet engine can cope when flown into severe weather/precipitatation? I understand that a flame-out is possible in extremis, but what actually happens, and what are the design limits for certification; ie L/min or similar? water injections aids combustion in piston engines, what happens in the jet? does a small amount of vater vapour actually improve performance?
