Gaseous emissions were measured in single-cup flametube tests of an advanced low-NOx combustor concept at simulated supersonic cruise conditions. The combustor concept is a low technology readiness level (TRL), lean front-end design developed under the NASA Fundamental Aeronautics/Supersonics project to minimize NOx emissions at supersonic cruise. The flametube conditions matched or approached combustor conditions at supersonic cruise, with combustor inlet temperatures up to 920 K, inlet pressures up to 19 bar, and combusted gas temperatures up to 2,120 K. Whether these conditions met or just approached supersonic cruise conditions depended on the type of engine the combustor would be installed in. Two types of engines were considered here: a “derivative” engine based on a current technology and an “advanced” engine with a higher operating pressure ratio and higher temperature limits. For the “derivative” engine, the combustor is expected to be at least close to meeting the NASA NOx emissions goal of 10 g-NOx/kg-fuel at supersonic cruise. However, with the higher combustor inlet and flame temperatures of the advanced engine, NOx emissions are expected to be well above the goal.
