Abstract:

The effects of jet engine exhaust blast on PAR-56 lamps located at the runway threshold were measured in this project. Sensors were placed on and near the lamp assemblies which measured blast velocity and temperature, bulb face temperature, lamp fixture acceleration and sound pressure level. These sensors located near the threshold of runway 13 at La Guardia Airport. Data were acquired during the engine runup and takeoff roll of some 162 aircraft during the measurement phase. The data were recorded on digital magnetic tape and video tape to form a permanent record of the raw data. The data were later plotted and analyzed, both manually and using a computer in order to extract the worst case environmental parameters encountered during the measurement phase. A prediction algorithm was developed by correlating the acquired data against the manufacturers' published jet exhaust blast velocity and temperature contours.
