Definitions:
Electric motors: motors that are electrically driven to
boost the speed level of a gas turbine till it reaches self-
sustaining speed (after which it gets declutched, cooled
and then shut).
Before the gas turbine can further up by itself, the
electric motor helps it navigate through various speed
levels.
Air (pneumatic) motors: Air, or pneumatic, motors
convert compressed air energy to mechanical work
through linear or rotary motion. Several different
designs are available of which the vane, piston and
turbine motors are the most common

Cartridge/turbine: A pneumatic starter that uses air

pressure built by powder in a cartridge burning in the
breech of the starter, the high-pressured gas will spin
the turbine geared to the engine compressor.

Combustor (fuel) motor: an engine motor that uses

fuel for combustion which in turn, creates energy for
thrust and other relative movements

Turbine impingement: a method of maintaining

acceptable temperatures in a gas turbine component
that involves using pressure differentials and
appropriate nozzle configurations to generate high-
speed jets that cool the interior surfaces of the
components & in this case, the turbine.

Wind milling: Wind milling is a phenomenon, which

can occur in aero-engines after a fan-blade, has
come off during flight
1. After starting the engine, the ignition is turned on within a few
seconds.
2. After a specific period (seconds), the fuel is released.
3. This is when combustion occurs.
4. The engine begins to rotate/work on its own.
5. The ignition switch is turned off.
6. The starter generator is turned off as the engine can sustain itself.
7. The engine is now moving without aid from the starter generator or
APU.
