The Gas Turbine in Perspective

Abstract

A survey is made of the progress that has been achieved in Britain over the last decade in improving the performance of gas-turbine components. The effect of these improvements on the performance of jet-propulsion engines is then shown.

An attempt is also made to foresee the probable future trend of progress and to assess the nature of the important problems which have still to be overcome before the gas turbine can be more generally applied.
