Systems of commercial turbofan engines: an introduction to systems functions

‘Systems of Commercial Turbofan Engines’ gives the reader information about the operation of the engine systems, its components and the terminology used throughout the industry. The engine systems are explained by the use of examplesfrom today's engines. So the readers, from aircraft mechanics to commercial pilot, become familiar with the current technology in this field and attains a deeper knowledge of the systems of commercial turbofan engines. To understand the operation of gas turbine engines used in aircraft, it is not enough to understand the basic operation of a gas turbine. It is also necessary to understand the operation and the design of its auxiliary systems. This book is an introduction into the systems of modern commercial aircraft gas turbine engines. It is made for the reader who is familiar with the basic operation of aircraft gas turbine engine. Shows the design and operation of the systems of modern turbofan engines The reader with the knowledge of basic engine operation gets the additional knowledge to understand the operation of the complete aircraft engine as it is installed on an aircraft. This is shown by photos and system schematics INDICE: Introduction. Engine Air Systems. Engine Lubrication System. Engine Fuel Distribution System. Engine And Fuel Control System.
