Introduction :

the book has been written to provide a simple and self-contained description of the working and
underlying principles of the aero gas turbine engine. It will be noted that the emphasis in this
book is on the turbo-jet engine and that no special part deals with the propeller-turbine engine.
This is because the working principle of both engine types are essentially the same.
