During the 1990’s, some power plants experimented with fog-based power augmentation by overspraying fog into the compressor – known as wet compression. The results were impressive. They reported a ...

NASA Glenn Research Center engineers have concluded Phase 2 testing of an innovative, external compression inlet that could be used on manned and unmanned supersonic aircraft. Called the Parametric ...
