Something that I'm wondering about. Proportionally I think I remember it being mentioned that the fuel flow about doubles. Feathers, these are the joys of afterburning; a totally gas guzzling way of extracting some more thrust from an engine.
Because Concorde already required the primary nozzle for N1 control, the addition of reheat was at least a relatively simple and lightweight afair. The original Olympus R engine was really a little lacking in terms of dry thrust, and the addition of the reheat system was deemed essential.
Concorde only had a single reheat spray ring and flame-holder, military systems often have several, with a corresponding increase in thrust growth as well as a hyper increase in fuel burn. Further development plans for the Olypus included a large increase in dry thrust; the reheat being retained only for transonic acceleration. It is such a pity that it was not to be.

No idea. What was the breakdown for these? Clue; don't forget the scavange pump. What was the total number of gyros on the aircraft? I'm guessing Mach 1. What did they each signify? Trick question, not as obvious as it might seem. Just a guess. ECAM Actions. Ze Answers. OK guys, here are the answers.
If you disagree about any of them then fire away, the old memory certainly 'aint perfect. Last edited by M2dude; 22nd Oct at Reason: oops, misssed out question 2. Hey Dude Saw your posts about the Concorde reheat spray bar and flame holder assembly in another thread, might it be worth reposting it in this thread to keep it all in the same place?
