Auxiliary turbine for aircraft - fuelled by gas generated in situ from aircraft fuel

摘要

In a method for starting up power units and operating auxiliary equipment in aircraft, using an auxiliary turbine driven by fuel gas produced in a gas generator from aircraft fuel hypergolised with a fuel component, pref. unsymmetrical dimethyl hydrazine, by reacting with an oxidiser, pref. HNO3 or N2O4, as in parent patent, the fuel gas is used for starting up an auxiliary turbine, and the exhaust gases of this auxiliary turbine are used for preheating or vaporising the aircraft fuel.
