This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) presents descriptions of several types of industrial and marine gas turbine engine starting systems.

This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) presents descriptions of several types of industrial and marine gas turbine engine starting systems.

This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) presents safety criteria for pneumatic type engine starting system design and component hardware. Included are safety criteria in design of both starter control valves and starters as well as in design of airframe control systems. Safety topics concern starter valve operation and material application, airframe controls and instrumentation installations and starter rotor integrity and containment.

This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) defines and establishes a standard presentation of data for gas turbine propulsion engine starter characteristics in graphs and curves. The data presentation applies to both pneumatic and hydraulic energy source starting systems.

The Aircraft Engine Starting and Auxiliary Power System Glossary presents definitions of terms commonly encountered and associated with aircraft engine starting and auxiliary power systems. Terms have been arranged alphabetically.

This specification covers the general requirements for pneumatic control valves for use with the starters on aircraft gas turbine engines. This specification shall be used in conjunction with AS943, ARP949, and AIR1639.

This document provides a brief description of the auxiliary power equipment that is available with enough description and pertinent comments to enable an engineer to make logical preliminary selection of the appropriate equipment for advanced military aircraft programs. The information has been kept as brief as possible to include the maximum amount of equipment in a relatively short document. It is not intended to replace textbook design analysis or detailed information available from the equipment suppliers. The document describes auxiliary power equipment. Auxiliary power is defined as follows: "Those elements of secondary power [defined as all aircraft nonpropulsive power generation and transmission] related to main engine bleed air and shaft power extraction or power generation separate from the main engines. Included are engine bleed air systems, remote engine driven gearboxes, engine starting systems, auxiliary power units, and emergency power systems."

This SAE Aerospace Information Report includes procedures for the analysis of a gas turbine engine start. It utilizes a standard form for the essential starting characteristics of the gas turbine engine and for the starting power capability of the aircraft battery. This report illustrates the format of the characteristic which is provided by the electric starter to transform the battery electric power (voltage and current) to the mechanical power (torque and speed) required to successfully start the engine. An aircraft engine start battery typically also serves as a backup source for emergency electrical energy. Guidelines are therefore provided for the determination of battery capacity to fulfill the emergency energy requirements of the aircraft.

The purpose of this SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) is to present a brief discussion of pneumatic starters for reciprocating engines. This AIR also provides a general analysis guide for preliminary sizing of pneumatic starter systems for reciprocating engines.

This recommended practice covers requirements for turbine engine-generators designated as follows:

This information report includes procedures for determining and presenting in standard form and terminology turbine engine starting and motoring characteristics. It further includes the requirement for substantiating the accuracy of the information presented.

This report lists military and industry specifications and standards which are used in aerospace engine starting systems. Only those hardware standards which have been specifically designed for engine starting systems are listed. Revisions and amendments which are current for these specifications and standards are not listed.
