An investigation has been conducted by the NACA to determine the design-performance characteristics of the NACA eight-stage axial-flow compressor and the effect of altitude on the performance. The compressor was tested at simulated altitudes of 50,000; 36,000; and 27,000 feet at rotor speeds corresponding to compressor Mach numbers of 0.80, 0.85, 0.90, and 0.95 wit varying air flow at each speed.
