Aircraft Turbine Engines

This textbook has written to acquaint powerplant technicians and flight crewmembers with aircraft gas engines. Easy to understand diagram and images are used to illustrate many concepts and to increase the level of understanding. The fundamentals of gas turbine engines are presented along with turbine engine types, theory and nomenclature. Basic operating principles, the laws of physics and thrust development formulas are presented in simple, easy to understand terms.

Written for powerplant technicians and crewmembers that service, maintain and operate gas turbine engines used on today’s commercial aircraft. Comprehensive diagrams and images are used throughout the text to demonstrate key concepts. Turbine engine practices and techniques provide background information on standard industry practices.

Diagrams of aircraft gas turbine engines, turbofan, turbojet, turboprop and turboshaft are explored while emphasizing their independent systems. In addition, engine systems and components are covered in order to allow the reader to easily understand their function as part of the overall operation of the engine.
