Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 612 pages. library sticker on spine - no other markings, private collector In this history of aircraft gas turbine engine development in the United Stat es, technologi-cal advancements will be traced through the evolution of specific engines. Each engine examined represents an important advance in…this critical technology. Although every model of aircraft gas turbine ever developed represen ts some technological change, in the opinion of the author, the engines presente d here demonstrate clear and significant advances over previous technologies. Th ese American-made turbojets have had a greater impact on U.S. aircraft gas tur-b ine usage than any other models we could examine. The four British engines descr ibed are ex-ceptions to this all-American discussion. The Whittle engine, introd uced into this country during World War II, became the model for the General Ele ctric I-A. The other three engines are the British Derwent and Tay, which introd uced Pratt & Whitney into the jet engine business, and the Pegasus. The Pega sus is the only non-U.S. engine to be featured as the topic of an entire chap- ter because it not only is representative of the finest in vectored-thrust techn ology, but also is the standard powerplant for U.S. Marine Corps Harrier aircraf t.
