What are the four most common types of gas turbine engines?
There are four different types of turbine engines – turbojet, turboprop, turbofan and turboshaft.
What is the most popular starting system used in gas turbine engine?
Gas turbine aircraft engines such as turbojets, turboshafts and turbofans often use air/pneumatic starting, with the use of bleed air from built-in auxiliary power units (APUs) or external air compressors now seen as a common starting method. Often only one engine needs be started using the APU (or remote compressor).
How much does a gas turbine engine cost?
Roughly speaking, an engine can cost anything from 12 to 35 million dollars. To generate electricity, some powerplants use 100-ton gas turbine engines fuelled by natural gas.
Which turbine is used in aircraft?
Four types of gas turbine engines are used to propel and power aircraft. They are the turbojet, turbofan, turboprop, and turboshaft.
What does a 737 engine cost?

What are the main functions of gas turbine engine?
FUNDAMENTALS OF GAS TURBINE ENGINES. INTRODUCTION The gas turbine is an internal combustion engine that uses air as the working fluid. The engine extracts chemical energy from fuel and converts it to mechanical energy using the gaseous energy of the working fluid (air) to drive the engine and propeller, which, in turn, propel the airplane.
What are the good and bad things about the jet engine book?
The good: Information dense introduction to jet engines. Written for engineers and others with a basic understanding of thermodynamics and fluid dynamics. The bad: College level text written for engineers and others with a basic understanding of thermodynamics and fluid dynamics.

What would happen if a compressor and a turbine were 100\% efficient?
If the compressor and the turbine were 100\% efficient, the compressor would supply all the air needed by the turbine. At the same time, the turbine would supply the necessary power to drive the compressor. In this case, a perpetual motion machine would exist.
