This Aerospace Standard covers terms frequently applied to aircraft gas turbine engines and their operation but does not include names of particular parts, the latter being covered by AS 341, Drawing Title Rules and Nomenclature for Aircraft Engine Parts. The units of measurement associated with the terms are to be consistent with good engineering practice.
PURPOSE:
To define terms used in conjunction with aircraft gas turbine engines and their operation so that they will be clearly understood and used uniformly throughout the industry.
