The gas turbine engine is a powerful apparatus that enables flight for countless aircraft models, commonly coming in the form of turbofan engine, turbojet engine, turboprop engine, and turboshaft engine types. In order to initiate standard operations, the gas turbine engine relies on the rotation of the high-pressure compressor which must be accelerated to the point where optimal air intake and fuel combustion takes place. A turbine starter is the device that makes such engine initiation possible, accelerating the compressor and assisting the engine until a self-sustaining speed is reached. In this blog, we will provide an overview of gas turbine engine starters, allowing you to better understand how they are used for flight operations. Read more >>
While piston engines have served many aircraft faithfully over the past century, they still have their fair share of possible failures and part issues. As is with all engines, piston engine components may eventually lose their integrity or functionality with prolonged use, leading to a loss in engine performance or a failure. As such, it is important to always be on top of maintenance endeavors with regular inspections conducted on set intervals. Additionally, having an understanding of the most common parts that fail and why they do can be very beneficial for any owner or operator. Read more >>
