The Relative Merits of Centrifugal and Axial Compressors for Aircraft Gas Turbines

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  28 July 2016

Extract

The suitability of a piece of mechanism for a given job depended both on the nature of the job and on the solution offered. In aviation they had to consider performance, time of development, cost in production and serviceability in its widest sense. It was proposed to review these different aspects as they applied to the compressors for aircraft gas turbines.
