Summary	This proposal stems from a prior exposure to the problem of ingestion on the F414 engine and an awareness of the potential criticality to a single-engine aircraft such as JSF. The transonic compressor rig (TCR) has been enhanced with a steam generator for the introduction of steam into its inlet at various flow rates. The primary objective is to obtain controlled data on the effect of steam ingestion and inlet flow distortion on stall behavior. Initial steam ingestion tests were successfully performed up to 95% rotor speed.
