Major changes in gas turbine design, especially in the design and complexity of engine control systems, have led to the need for an up to date, systems-oriented treatment of gas turbine propulsion. Pulling together all of the systems and subsystems associated with gas turbine engines in aircraft and marine applications, Gas Turbine Propulsion Systems discusses the latest developments in the field. Chapters include aircraft engine systems functional overview, marine propulsion systems, fuel control and power management systems, engine lubrication and scavenging systems, nacelle and ancillary systems, engine certification, unique engine systems and future developments in gas turbine propulsion systems. The authors also present examples of specific engines and applications. Written from a wholly practical perspective by two authors with long careers in the gas turbine & fuel systems industries, Gas Turbine Propulsion Systems provides an excellent resource for project and program managers in the gas turbine engine community, the aircraft OEM community, and tier 1 equipment suppliers in Europe and the United States. It also offers a useful reference for students and researchers in aerospace engineering.

Aircraft Fuel Systems integrates all aspects of fuel products and systems including fuel handling, fuel quantity gauging and fuel management for both commerical/civil, and military aircraft applications. It collates together information on fuel system design that is currently disseminated throughout literature into one easily comprehensible reference text. There are chapters on basic system functions, features and functions unique to military aircraft, fuel handling, fuel quantity gauging, fuel management, fuel system safety and fuel systems design and development. Contributions come from industry specialists. Comprehensive introduction to aircraft fuel system design Offers an all-encompassing view of aircraft fuel systems that is non-existent in current literature Includes specific fuel system design examples that illustrate the applications presented throughout. Provides a clear path through the various sub systems found on modem aircraft Part of the prestigious Wiley Aerospace series

Gas Turbine Propulsion Systems in Aerospace &amp; Defense pulls together all of the systems and subsystems associated with gas turbine engines in aircraft and marine warship applications. The subject of engine (fuel) control has undergone major changes in the past 20 years due to the advent of the digital electronic control technology and therefore existing books on the subject are typically out of date with current methods. Gas Turbine Propulsion Systems in Aerospace &amp; Defense discusses the latest technologies in this area; including marine propulsion which is an emerging application area for the technology that involves some interesting modifications to aviation technologies. This book also fits well into the systems engineering focus of the Aerospace Series.Includes chapters on aircraft engine systems functional overview, marine propulsion systems, fuel control and power management systems, engine lubrication and scavenging systems, nacelle and ancillary systems, engine certification, unique engine systems and future developments in gas turbine propulsion systemsIncludes case studies of specific enginesIncludes applications within marine defenceAccompanied by a book companion website featuring full colour images
