  2. Aircraft engine starting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_engine_starting

    An interesting feature of all three German jet engine designs that saw production of any kind before May 1945: the German BMW 003, Junkers Jumo 004 and Heinkel HeS 011 axial-flow turbojet engine designs was the starter system, which consisted of a Riedel 10 hp (7.5 kW) flat twin two-stroke air-cooled engine hidden in the intake, and essentially ...

  3. Coffman engine starter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coffman_engine_starter

    Compressed-air starters, which use the same type of motor, are usually recharged by an engine-driven compressor, negating the need to carry cartridges, but adding requirements for the compressor and air tank. Hybrid systems can be made simply by adding a cartridge breech or an air tank to an existing system.

    A Palouste air starter pod is in front. Several British naval aircraft were adapted to carry a Palouste in a wing-mounted air starter pod installation to facilitate engine starting when away from base. [3] A novel use of a surplus Palouste engine was its installation in a custom-built motorcycle known as the Boost Palouste.
