Gas Turbine Propulsion Systems

by Bernie MacIsaac (Author), Roy Langton (Author)

Major changes in gas turbine design, especially in the design andcomplexity of engine control systems, have led to the need for anup to date, systems-oriented treatment of gas turbine propulsion.Pulling together all of the systems and subsystems associated withgas turbine engines in aircraft and marine applications, GasTurbine Propulsion Systems discusses the latest developments inthe field.

Chapters include aircraft engine systems functional overview,marine propulsion systems, fuel control and power managementsystems, engine lubrication and scavenging systems, nacelle andancillary systems, engine certification, unique engine systems andfuture developments in gas turbine propulsion systems. The authorsalso present examples of specific engines and applications.

Written from a wholly practical perspective by two authors withlong careers in the gas turbine & fuel systems industries,Gas Turbine Propulsion Systems provides an excellentresource for project and program managers in the gas turbine enginecommunity, the aircraft OEM community, and tier 1 equipmentsuppliers in Europe and the United States. It also offers a usefulreference for students and researchers in aerospaceengineering.
