After increasing the hole diameter of our swirl injectors, we need to confirm how that changes their mass flow. Jeppe guides you through how to do just that.
In an attempt to mitigate the spin we saw with our last manned Ballute jump, we made and tested a small-scale design, which is sown from two sections – top and bottom, rather than single Read more…
