Content

THE author divides this discussion of the problems likely to be encountered in the installation of the turbo-jet engine to very high-speed aircraft as follows:

2.
Engine suspension.
3.
Engine fuel system.
4.
Engine lubrication system.
5.
Instrumentation necessary to check proper engine operation.
6.
Cooling of engine accessories.
7.
