Design Improvements in Air Turbine Start Systems 921947
The main engine air turbine start system, which typically consists of an air turbine starter and starter control valve, is a key contributor to aircraft dispatch reliability. Evolving aircraft propulsion systems have resulted in more aggressive operational environments, thus providing the impetus to improve the design of the start systems to enhance their durability and aid in improving both dispatch reliability and system responsiveness.
