Gas Turbine Engines for Helicopters,

Abstract

The first part, basically, elucidates questions connected with the use of gas turbine engines with a free power turbine for helicopters: the characteristics of thermal calculation and the calculation of characteristics, conditions of synchronizing the operation of the engine and the rotor, the means of adjustment, and the design. Briefly, mainly for purposes of comparison with engines with a free turbine, single shaft engines are also considered. The operating conditions of gas turbine engines on helicopters in service are elucidated. In the second part, questions are considered regarding the use of a jet drive of the rotor of a helicopter both by means of turbojet engines mounted on the blade tips and also by means of turbojet engines mounted on the blade tips and also by means of supplying compressed gas to jet nozzles on the blade tips. This book is intended for technical engineering workers who are engaged in designing and operation of helicopters and helicopter engines. It may also be useful for teachers and students of the respective specialities in aviation technical schools. (Author)
