Abstract
The feasibility of thrust vectoring measurement using thermal mapping techniques was investigated. In this study, thermal maps are represented by generated figures which display temperatures spatially using a grid of evenly spaced thermocouples. For the purpose of measurement of thrust vectoring, thermal maps as well as the distance from the engine nozzle exit to the thermocouple grid were used to triangulate the vectored angle. This investigation was intended to be conducted using a small gas turbine engine in instrumented experiments. The assessment of feasibility was based on cost analysis, as well as the accuracy of experimental results.
