AER 2016 - Turbine Engine Theory & Repair


4.5 cr

This class begins with turbine engine theory to include such subject areas as thrust calculations, induction/exhaust/cooling systems, and the parts of the jet engine itself. Due to the specialized nature of turbine engine construction and tooling, students disassemble and reassemble a non-running engine to learn about general turbine engine construction. Next students perform an Airworthiness Directive and engine conformity inspection followed by engine removal from a turbine powered aircraft. After cleaning and inspection of the engine and engine compartment, the engine is reinstalled. An engine run-up is performed to check all critical functions. Any issues with the engine are diagnosed and repaired.

Lecture/Lab: 1.5 hours of lecture, 3 hours of lab
