Subject: L29-List: Re: L29 w/ Afterburner

Anthony,
It might be a good upgrade for the jet.  It would be a much more expensive engine.
Even installing a J-85 without AB would be a nice option.  I am not an expert on
the subject, but I have knowledge of both jets so I'll offer an opinion.
The J-85 AB section needs room for the AB to open and close, so that may be an
issue at the engine bay trailing edge.  I'm sure you can get measurements from
someone on the dimensions of the AB when in full AB.  That would be the limfac
in this situation.
Also, mounting points will likely have to be manufactured.  As I recall, the T-38
engine rolls into the fuselage on rails built into the fuselage and then is
secured in place.  The T-38 is similar to the L-29 in that the tail section "boat"
is removed to access the engine.
I think such an installation would be very interesting.  I hope you can do it.

Subject: L29-List: L29 w/ Afterburner

Has anyone heard of an L29 with a J85-GE-5 or -5A engine with afterburner i
nstalled?=C2- With 2400 lbs normal thrust and 3600-3850 lbs thrust with a
fterburner, it would seem to be a good fit. Engine dimensions look good to 
go but was told the tail pipe might be an issue.=C2- Was told there is/wa
s one L29 with this conversion but gentleman didn't have any specifics.
