Product Description
Aircraft Gas Turbine Engine Technology provides a comprehensive, easy-to-understand treatment of the background, development, and applications of the gas turbine engine in its various forms, such as turbojet, turbofan, turboprop, and turboshaft powerplants. The text guides technicians preparing for the FAA aircraft powerplant mechanic certification. Other readers, particularly those in technology and engineering, will find useful that aerodynamic, thermodynamic, and mechanical design considerations are discussed at a reasonable technological level. Aircraft Gas Turbine Engine Technology also may be used a reference. Significantly, this text covers the changing maintenance and overhaul procedures and philosophies, and the role of fuel metering in engine operation.
