The steady-state over-all performance characteristics of the J65-B3 turbojet engine were determined in an altitude test chamber for four exhaust-nozzle areas at Reynolds number indices of 0.8, 0.4, and 0.2. This range of Reynolds number indices corresponds to a range of altitudes from about sea level to 51,500 feet at a flight Mach number of 0.8. Generalized data are presented to allow calculation of engine performance at any flight condition corresponding to a Reynolds number index within the range investigated. Engine performance calculated from these generalized data is presented for seven altitudes over a range of flight speeds from zero to about 1100 knots. The use of an exhaust nozzle sized to give rated perforce at sea level would permit operation near the point of minimum specific fuel consumption for a wide range of flight conditions and engine speeds.
