Design and tests of a six-stage axial-flow compressor having a tip speed of 550 feet per second and a flat operating characteristic at constant speed

A six-stage axial-flow compressor with a 550 feet per second tip speed and a flat operating characteristic (constant stagnation-pressure ratio at constant speed over the operating range of the compressor) was designed and tested. The design theory and test results are presented in this thesis. It wa...
