air-turbine starting system
1air impingement starter — A type of starting system for gas turbine engines in which initial rotation to the compressor is produced by compressed air. The compressed air is supplied by either a running engine or a ground power unit and is directed onto the turbine blades… …
2air start — i. Starting or restarting a wind milling engine of an aircraft in flight. ii. A starting system in which initial rotation to the engine is provided by high pressure compressed air. The source of this air can be from either a ground external… …
3Turbine de tesla — La turbine de Tesla est un type de turbine sans pales breveté par Nikola Tesla en 1913. Elle utilise l effet de couche limite, et pas l impact d un fluide contre des pales comme c est le cas dans une turbine conventionnelle. La turbine de Tesla… …

5Air-independent propulsion — (AIP) is a term that encompasses technologies which allow a submarine to operate without the need to surface or use a snorkel to access atmospheric oxygen. The term usually excludes the use of nuclear power, and describes augmenting or replacing… …
6turbine — /terr bin, buyn/, n. any of various machines having a rotor, usually with vanes or blades, driven by the pressure, momentum, or reactive thrust of a moving fluid, as steam, water, hot gases, or air, either occurring in the form of free jets or as …
7Air start system — An air start system is a power source used to provide the initial rotation to start large diesel and gas turbine engines. Compared to a gasoline (petrol) engine, diesel engines have very high compression ratios to provide for reliable and… …
