The cross-sectional area of an afterburner in aircraft design depends on its specific design and shape, and there isn’t a universal formula for calculating it. The cross-sectional area (A) is typically measured in square meters (m²) in the International System of Units (SI).
- ṁ is the mass flow rate in kilograms per second (kg/s).
- ρ is the air density in kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³).
- A is the cross-sectional area Afterburner (in square meters, m²).
- V is the velocity of the Afterburner (in meters per second, m/s).
