Subject: Re: [Flightgear-devel] Re: [Flightgear-users] RE: Turbine
Engine (Concorde, Hunter, and Citation Information Needed)
Heh, fair enough. OK, how about this: if someone can get me
reasonable data on a real turbine, I'll do a model for it and check it
in such that other engines can use the same interface, even if the
numbers are wrong.
More than I could expect :-)
It doesn't need to be really involved. Basically, what I'd need is
stuff like:
Nr 1 and 2
+ What the RPM curve vs. time looks like the as you hold the starter
button down.
+ The temperature curve vs. time, showing the points where control
inputs were made.
Nr 3 and 4
Ok, this is the easiest point. I'll have a look into the handbooks
within the next days and mail all stuff to you which may be interesting.
+ The handbook procedures that tell me which numbers are important,
and which ones I can fake.
+ The handbook descriptions of what the failure modes are, how they
are caused, and (roughly) what the effects are. I don't think
anyone cares if we get this exactly right -- it doesn't matter
whether the over-temp condition is exactly the same temperature as
you would see on a real engine, so long as the temperature is
pointing at the red area of the gauge.
This was also my first idea when I read Nr 1 and 2 as all the parallel
processes (instrument readings) can be analyzed afterwards with all the
time you need for it.
This will be done by me with some delay as I first have to get my old
and longtime unsed Camcorder working , this means getting a new NiCd
storage batterie for it as the old one has only reduced capacity for
some minutes.
Maybe just a video of the panel during a successful startup would be
sufficient.

We should notice that these parameters are only valid for a special type
of 2-shaft-engines (turbines) but it might be a start and better then
nothing! :-)
Please give me some time (due to real-life workload).
Cheers
Georg
