Hi Stan,The consensus agrees with you that the major problem will lie in th
e tail outlet. Zach McNeil says there is one guy who has made this swap and
he's trying to find more info.=C2-
Finding an airworthy engine with AB is the other problem. There are two J-8
5 engines in crates where I work but their model and flight status is unkno
wn. I don't think anyone has opened the crates since they were received.
Anyway, it was just a concept idea and may prove to be more involved than w
hat I may want to do.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and input.
RegardsAnthony

Subject: L29-List: Re: L29 w/ Afterburner
Anthony,
It might be a good upgrade for the jet.=C2- It would be a much more expen
sive engine.
Even installing a J-85 without AB would be a nice option.=C2- 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.=C2- I'm sure you can get measureme
nts from
someone on the dimensions of the AB when in full AB.=C2- That would be th
e limfac
in this situation.
Also, mounting points will likely have to be manufactured.=C2- As I recal
l, the T-38
engine rolls into the fuselage on rails built into the fuselage and then is
secured in place.=C2- The T-38 is similar to the L-29 in that the tail se
ction "boat"
is removed to access the engine.
I think such an installation would be very interesting.=C2- I hope you ca
n 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.
