- Company Profile:
The temperature of the gases as they exit the turbine section.
Industry:Aviation
The portion of the combustor where the gases are collected to be evenly distributed to the turbine blades.
Industry:Aviation
The portion of the turbine assembly that mounts to the shaft and holds the turbine blades in place.
Industry:Aviation
The section of the engine that converts high pressure high temperature gas into rotational energy.
Industry:Aviation
An air compressor driven by exhaust gases, which increases the pressure of the air going into the engine through the carburetor or fuel injection system.
Industry:Aviation
A turbojet engine in which additional propulsive thrust is gained by extending a portion of the compressor or turbine blades outside the inner engine case. The extended blades propel bypass air along the engine axis but between the inner and outer casing. The air is not combusted but does provide additional thrust.
Industry:Aviation
A jet engine incorporating a turbine-driven air compressor to take in and compress air for the combustion of fuel, the gases of combustion being used both to rotate the turbine and create a thrust producing jet.
Industry:Aviation
A turbine engine that drives a propeller through a reduction gearing arrangement. Most of the energy in the exhaust gases is converted into torque, rather than its acceleration being used to propel the aircraft.
Industry:Aviation
A rate gyro that senses both roll and yaw due to the gimbal being canted. Has largely replaced the turn-and-slip indicator in modern aircraft.
