Due to its numerous relative merits, a bright future awaits the gas turbine engine. Hence the gas turbine engine technology has been developed continuously in diverse areas such as cycle analysis, including novel cycles and second-law analyses; design, development and economic maintenance; combustion and environment; in addition to modeling, simulation and performance of engine components. Therefore a brief review of these areas is presented to highlight future trends.
