Testing of Parts and Complete Units of the Swedish Base Bleed System
SINOPSIS
The Swedish Base-Bleed system was invented about twenty years ago. During the research leading to the invention and during the continued development a number of different methods and experimental prodecures for testing parts as well as the complete system have been developed.
The paper describes several of these tests in relation to the functioning and the design of the system. Examples of test results and advices on their application are presented. The first part describes laboratory methods and experimental facilities for testing parts such as propellant grains, igniters and nozzle systems in combustion bombs, spin stand, soft recovery acceleration facility and supersonic wind tunnel. The second part treats parts and complete base-bleed units functioning and performance testing by means of gun firing in aeroballistic range and in actual free flight trajectories.
