🔍 Key Concepts

• Common starting systems for small gas turbine engines • Differences between electric, pneumatic (air), and hydraulic starters • Why vessel size and power availability influence starter choice

💭 Think About

• On a smaller vessel with a small gas turbine, which type of starter system is simplest to install and maintain? • Which option requires a steady supply of compressed air, and is that usually available on the smallest installations? • Which type of starter is most common on small internal combustion engines generally, and would that logic carry over to small gas turbines?

✅ Before You Answer

• Note which answers are essentially forms of air-driven starters and how they differ • Think about what auxiliary systems (compressors, pumps) each choice would need • Consider which type of starter is most likely when space, weight, and system complexity must be minimized
