Turbine D,
I apologise for any misunderstandings. I felt that explanations like "the engine would be unable to cope with the volume of air" and "the air in the compressor could stagnate.." would not help people trying to grasp what was happening, whilst the patent explains the whole high inlet temp/low corrected speed problem correctly in a nutshell.
As you were suggesting these sources of information I got the wrong end of the stick.
Although you say the patent should not give much away, it seems an amazing first primer in compressor operation in general terms and more specifically at high inlet temps. Just seemed too good to not be made more visible.
I'm fully aware of Bob Abernethy's role as the 'father' of the M3 J58 ref my copy of Jack Connors book.and unfortunaley, again, was not on your wavelength. I have
Thank you for the variable stator story.
