Starting of Aircraft Gas Turbine Engines
Abstract
Examined in this book is the theory of starting aviation gas turbine engines on the ground and in flight. This discussion goes into considerably greater detail than previously published literature on aviation engines. The design principles and operating features of individual components of the starter system and engine accessories during start up are examined, the methods of calculating the starting characteristics of various types of engines on the ground and in flight are set forth and the physical essence of starting processes is explained. The influence of various factors on engine starting reliability is examined in detail. Methods of calculating engine parameters in the autorotation and low rpm regimes and engine starting reliability limits in flight are given, which can be used in the testing and operation of gas turbine engines.
