Abstract
Content
THIS paper-which received the SAE Manly Memorial Medal for 1952-presents a survey of special-purpose instrumentation required for development testing of aircraft gas turbine engines and their components. They are divided into:
  1. 1.
    Instruments to investigate the mechanical operation of the engine.
  2. 2.
    Instruments to measure the quantity and state of the working fluids-fuel, air, and combustion gases-as they pass through the engine.
