2. Gas turbine engine compressors - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_turbine_engine_compressors

   As the name suggests, gas turbine engine compressors provide the compression part of the gas turbine engine thermodynamic cycle. There are three basic categories of gas turbine engine compressor: axial compressor, centrifugal compressor and mixed flow compressor. A fourth, unusual, type is the free-piston gas generator, which combines the ...

3. Components of jet engines - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Components_of_jet_engines

   Components of jet engines. Diagram of a typical gas turbine jet engine. Air is compressed by the compressor blades as it enters the engine, and it is mixed and burned with fuel in the combustion section. The hot exhaust gases provide forward thrust and turn the turbines which drive the compressor blades. 1.

4. Air cycle machine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_cycle_machine

   An air cycle machine (ACM) is the refrigeration unit of the environmental control system (ECS) used in pressurized gas turbine -powered aircraft. Normally an aircraft has two or three of these ACM. Each ACM and its components are often referred as an air conditioning pack. The air cycle cooling process uses air instead of a phase changing ...

5. Allison J35 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allison_J35

   The General Electric/Allison J35 was the United States Air Force 's first axial-flow (straight-through airflow) compressor jet engine. Originally developed by General Electric (GE company designation TG-180) in parallel with the Whittle -based centrifugal-flow J33, the J35 was a fairly simple turbojet, consisting of an eleven-stage axial-flow ...

6. Westinghouse Aviation Gas Turbine Division - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westinghouse_Aviation_Gas...

   Westinghouse Electric Corporation. The Westinghouse Aviation Gas Turbine Division (AGT) was established by Westinghouse Electric Corporation in 1945 to continue the development and production of its gas turbine engines for aircraft propulsion under contract to the US Navy Bureau of Aeronautics. The AGT Division was headquartered in Kansas City ...

7. Surge in compressors - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surge_in_compressors

   Compressor surge is a form of aerodynamic instability in axial compressors or centrifugal compressors. The term describes violent air flow oscillating in the axial direction of a compressor, which indicates the axial component of fluid velocity varies periodically and may even become negative. In early literature, the phenomenon of compressor ...
