Partial Analysis of German Aircraft Gas Turbine Performance and Design Methods

Abstract

The subject report is a partial analysis of German Aircraft jet engines and propeller drive gas turbine power plant performance and design methods. It is based on the results of interrogation of the leading gas turbine designers of BMW, Heinkel-Hirth, Brown-Boveri and MAN companies. It indicates that gas turbines designed by German aircraft engine manufacturers are not revolutionary in either their design or performance.
