Hello everyone,

I've heard references to augmenters but don't have a good understanding
of what they are or how they work.  I was hoping someone could explain
them or point me to where I can find some info.  Are any being used in
light aircraft or are they still in the theoretical stage?   Thanks in
advance.

Jake

There are a bunch of NACA papers on the subject.
You can download them for free from the NASA web site.

Or get our Mazda paper CD with 500 meg of stuff
including over 100 NACA tech papers.
Send $40 to me at.

Also look at a Cessna 310 at your local airport. It uses thrust
augmentors.
