OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS OF GAS-TURBINE AIRCRAFT ENGINES

Abstract

The operating characteristics of aviation gas turbine engines are reviewed. The information covers thermodynamic control principles, throttling, altitude, speed, acceleration, startup, and special characteristics of turbojet, turboprop, and turbofan engines. A number of important problems are covered, which until recently were not included in textbooks for civil aviation institutes. These problems include specific characteristics of double shaft by- pass turbojet engines with a high by-pass ratio; the effect of losses along the ducts and external factors on the engine performance and parameters; compressor instability, noise, and engine reliability. The book is based on non-Soviet information on jet engines published in aviation periodicals, and also on the experience gained by the Soviet aviation industry and the Ministry of Civil Aviation with the operation of aviation gas turbine engines designed by A. G. Ivchenko, N. D. Kuznetsov, and P. A. Solov'yev. It is intended as a textbook for high scientific institutions of civil aviation, and it might be useful to persons engaged in aviation engine maintenance.
