The purpose of the tests summarized in the report was to determine the effect of the exhaust blast on pavements and to measure pavement temperatures during operations of the F-100A aircraft. The J57-P-7 propulsion unit of the F-100A aircraft develops considerably higher thrust than planes previously tested and is equipped with an afterburner. The types of pavement for consideration were asphaltic concrete, tar-rubber concrete (two types), and portland cement concrete. (Author)
