A test to measure the acoustic noise and static pressure environment on a structure exposed to engine exhaust flow was conducted at the NASA Lewis Research Center Propulsion Systems Laboratory by using an F100 derivative engine with a two-dimensional convergent-divergent (2D/CD) non-flight-weight demonstrator nozzle. A highly instrumented, water cooled flat panel was placed behind the 2D/CD nozzle, and tests were conducted at simulated Mach/altitude flight conditions with the engine at military or maximum-afterburner power setting. The panel instrumentation consisted of acoustic pressure microphones, thermocouples, and static-pressure pickups. Measurements indicated that the exhaust environment may excite structural resonances up to 10,000 HZ and that overall sound pressure levels decrease with increasing altitude.
