RECIPROCATING ENGINE PNEUMATIC STARTERS

1994-02-01
CURRENT
AIR4152
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.

Pneumatic Ground Power Supplies for Starting Aircraft

2004-04-06
CURRENT
AIR944C
The material contained in this report has been simplified to facilitate its use. Specific manufacturers should be contacted for more detailed information. Many of the basic power supplies are available in numerous configurations and some provide shaft power or electrical power in addition to the pneumatic capability. Vehicles for the ground transportation of the power supplies are also varied to fit specific requirements.

AIR944
The information contained in this report has been simplified to facilitate its use. Specific manufacturers should be contacted for more detailed information. Many of the basic power plants are available in numerous configurations to provide shaft power or electrical power in addition to the pneumatic capability. Vehicles for the ground transportation of the power supplies are also varied to fit specific requirements. The state-of-the-art in small gas turbines has advanced to a point where they are competitive with the more conventional ground power supplies in practically all areas.

PERFORMANCE ACCEPTANCE TESTING OF AIR TURBINE STARTERS

1994-02-01
CURRENT
ARP715A
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.

GUIDE FOR DETERMINING ENGINE STARTER DRIVE TORQUE REQUIREMENTS

1994-09-01
CURRENT
AIR781
A general discussion is presented herein, to outline the starter functions which are necessary for a successful engine start. In addition, sample calculations are included to illustrate an accepted method of determining the engine starting time from known data. Further consideration is then given to the relationship between starter torque output and engine pad strength and a generalized formula is presented for calculating the theoretical transient torque peaks for a simplified starter-engine system. Sample calculations for actual tests are included, and the results of these calculations are compared with measured values.

Aircraft Accessory Drag Torque During Engine Starts

1999-04-01
CURRENT
AIR1087B
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.

A MEANS OF TESTING TURBOJET ENGINE STARTER PERFORMANCE

1963-11-01
HISTORICAL
ARP715
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.
