Quick question, Why isn't there isn't the K80 on your table?
Do you suspect that the list might move around a little if the thrust figures used were not manufactures spec's but actual ISA adjusted thrust measurements? Because I do remember that the is some variance between the published figures versus what the turbine could actually produce.
Thanks
Dave
P.s. Item 4, is puce a new engine performance parameter that i've never heard of?
Hi Dave.
Thanks for your time reading the blog and your valuable input. I can only improve it with people reading it with a critical eye and giving me this kind of feedback.
I have added the K80G in the table ( simply forgot it somehow ) and corrected the typo.
I don't think that the list would move much with actual test data ( and I have a first hand experience on that matter as you probably know it ).
As you certainly know, all serious manufacturers test their engines before shipping and record the thrust corrected to ISA in a data base.
Some manufacturer chose to ship your engine with a comprehensive set of tables from this test ( Bf-Turbines, Behotec ). Some other keep it unpublished ( most of the others in fact).
The thrust put on their web site usually corresponds to the recorded thrust on the top of their range.
So all in all, there would be some fluctuations within a few% but it would not change the overall table.
