Talk:General Electric CJ805

Aft fan?
File:RB-66A (52-2828) with CJ805 test engines.JPG is described in this article as having the -23 aft fan turbofan engines. They aren't visible, and the nacelle art simply describes them as "Turbojet"s.

Whilst this same aircraft was probably used as a test aircraft for the turbofan, I think this photo shows it in some earlier configuration, testing the basic CJ805 turbojet. The caption should be changed and the article text clarified. Andy Dingley (talk) 15:03, 30 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Definitely. The fan version had a notably bigger cowl, and the paint was different - most notable was that the pylon was no longer painted black. The overall scheme was similar, but still different enough to tell at a glance. Maury Markowitz (talk) 01:05, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

Variable compressor stator vanes?
The great innovation of the J79 was the use of movable stator vanes in the compressor, despite their complexity and cost. Did the CJ805 use these too? Or had they been simplified away? Andy Dingley (talk) 15:04, 30 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Just noticed this now. Yes, the 805 did retain the variable inlets, Flight mentions this and you can see the cam arms here. It looks like they changed as little as possible, even though you wouldn't really need them in the later stages in the purely subsonic role. 14:27, 18 March 2018 (UTC)

Orphaned references in General Electric CJ805
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of General Electric CJ805's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "JAWA1959-60": From List of aircraft engines:  From Boeing T50:  

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 20:28, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
