CORRECT ANSWERS
Terms in this set (23)
What is the function of a turbine To uniformly accelerate the engine from rest to an
engine starting system? rpm at which the gas flow through the turbine
section provides sufficient torque to drive the
compressor at idle rpm.
What is the most common type of An air turbine starter.
starter used on large modern
turbofan engines?
What are the sources of bleed air to An APU, another engine or from a ground
the air turbine starter? compressed air source.
When/how is an air turbine starter Automatically by a starter clutch at a pre-determined
disengaged? rpm.
Why is a uniform rate of acceleration To uniformly accelerate the engine from rest to an
required during engine start? rpm at which the gas flow through the turbine
section provides
sufficient torque to drive the compressor at idle
rpm, thereby avoiding a hung start.
