 |
|
Has anyone heard of an L29 with a J85-GE-5 or -5A engine with afterburner installed? With 2400 lbs normal thrust and 3600-3850 lbs thrust with afterburner, it would seem to be a good fit. Engine dimensions look good to go but was told the tail pipe might be an issue. Was told there is/was one L29 with this conversion but gentleman didn't have any specifics.

One person did reply the tail needed modifications for the tailpipe but don't know how extensive the mods are.

Anthony,
It might be a good upgrade for the jet. It would be a much more expensive engine.
Even installing a J-85 without AB would be a nice option. I am not an expert on the subject, but I have knowledge of both jets so I'll offer an opinion.
The J-85 AB section needs room for the AB to open and close, so that may be an issue at the engine bay trailing edge. I'm sure you can get measurements from someone on the dimensions of the AB when in full AB. That would be the limfac in this situation.
Also, mounting points will likely have to be manufactured. As I recall, the T-38 engine rolls into the fuselage on rails built into the fuselage and then is secured in place. The T-38 is similar to the L-29 in that the tail section "boat" is removed to access the engine.
I think such an installation would be very interesting. I hope you can do it.
