Description / Abstract:
This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) presents descriptions of
several types of industrial
and marine gas turbine engine starting systems.
Purpose:
The purpose of this document is to describe to the aerospace engineer
the types of starting systems
used on gas turbine engines employed in industrial and marine
applications. It is believed that the
aerospace engineer's ability to design starting systems for aircraft
gas turbine engines will be
enhanced by a knowledge of the lessons learned in nonaerospace
applications.
