Major changes in gas turbine design, especially in the design and
complexity of engine control systems, have led to the need for an
up to date, systems-oriented treatment of gas turbine propulsion.
Pulling together all of the systems and subsystems associated with
gas turbine engines in aircraft and marine applications, Gas
Turbine Propulsion Systems discusses the latest developments in
the field.
Chapters include aircraft engine systems functional overview,
marine propulsion systems, fuel control and power management
systems, engine lubrication and scavenging systems, nacelle and
ancillary systems, engine certification, unique engine systems and
future developments in gas turbine propulsion systems. The authors
also present examples of specific engines and applications.
Written from a wholly practical perspective by two authors with
long careers in the gas turbine & fuel systems industries,
Gas Turbine Propulsion Systems provides an excellent
resource for project and program managers in the gas turbine engine
community, the aircraft OEM community, and tier 1 equipment
suppliers in Europe and the United States. It also offers a useful
reference for students and researchers in aerospace
engineering.
