N2 - The performance data of a number of two-shaft turbofan engines have been used to investigate the validity of previously published empirical equations that describe an engine's thrust and SFC (Specific Fuel Consumption) for different flight conditions. Where necessary, the constants and the format of the equations have been revised to approximate the performance of modern engines. The engine performance in take-off, climb and cruise has been investigated. These results will allow a more realistic prediction of engine performance for the purpose of preliminary aircraft design or initial performance analysis.
