Gas Turbine Powerplant Technology

Catalog description

A study in the theory, operation, construction, design, and maintenance of gas turbine powerplants installed in aircraft. Topics include jet propulsion history and development, the Brayton cycle, turbine engine systems, thrust reverser operations, and emerging trends in the design and application of gas turbine engines. Practical experiences include engine removal, installation, engine test cell operations, and troubleshooting to an airworthy standard with an emphasis on disassembly and inspection of small turboprop/turboshaft engines commonly found on turbine twin-engine aircraft and helicopters.
