This book provides a practical guide to all the main aspects for performance, including topics not well covered elsewhere, such as transient performance, starting, windmilling and analysis of engine test data. All turbine engine variants are discussed, including turbojets, turbofans, turboprops, turboshafts, auxiliary power units and ramjets. A substantial number of charts, tables and formulae provide not only trends and the form of relationships, but also a database for design purposes.
