Overview

Gas Turbine Propulsion Systems 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due to the advent of digital electronic control technology and therefore previous books on the subject are typically out of date with current methods. Gas Turbine Propulsion Systems 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.
