Gas turbine engines are widely used in different fields for generate energy. They are commonly used in aircrafts. If you watch a huge passenger aircraft, you can see the gas turbine engines are either hanging on the wing section or tail section. Those power plants gives enough energy to generate thrust which finally result the aircraft fly. Figure: An Airbus A340's 4 engines are situated on the wing, 2 in each side. Figure: A Tupolev 154 Aircraft where engines situated on the empennage How does a gas turbine engine work? There are several sections inside of an engine. First one is the air intake and fan which direct the air to inside of the engine, then the compressor, which compress the air to a very high pressure while reducing its speed. Then air meets the combustion chamber, where kerosene (fuel) is spread as small particles and burned in a high temperature.
Technical Diagnostics is the science to find machine/ material defects in order to provide safety and reliability, economical efficiency with high quality products and services. Non destructive testing (NDT) is one of the most important parts of technical diagnostics. In this blog you can find out many things about Technical diagnostics, mostly connected with the Civil Aviation.
