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 Aerospace Recommended Practice describes two performance acceptance test methods to determine the performance acceptability of new production and overhauled air turbine starters. Before a new or overhauled starter is delivered to a customer, the starter is subjected to a performance acceptance test in accordance with an acceptance test procedure. The performance acceptance test is intended to ensure that the customer receives a starter that meets or exceeds minimum starter performance requirements.

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 SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) presents information on gas energy limited propulsion engine starting systems employed in commercial and military applications and remote industrial sites. The types of systems discussed utilize solid propellant cartridge gas, monopropellant hydrazine gas, bipropellant gas, compressed stored gas, and cryogenic stored nitrogen. Presented information conveys design features, performance capabilities and system limitations with methods of computing results.

This specification establishes the requirements for the (TBS) jet fuel starter for the (TBS) gas turbine engine used in the (TBS) aircraft.

This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) presents a discussion of drag torques of engine accessories operating at cold temperature. Various conditions of temperature, speed, and acceleration rates are reviewed showing the merits of each method and recommending a standard test method.

This Recommended Practice covers a means of determining the performance acceptability of new production or overhauled starters that will be used for cranking turbine engines and is intended for use where torque measuring equipment is not available or desirable. This method determines acceptability of the overall performance of the starter on a flywheel test stand, rather than the performance at specific speed conditions. It allows a slight variation of output torque outside specified limits, as long as the overall performance is up to standard.
