... MEMS gas turbine engine.ENGINE DESIGN TRADES, COMPONENT INTEGRATION, AND DESIGN EVOLUTION Gas turbine engines are more than a set of components bolted together. Rather, a successful gas turbine ... projected performance of these engines are on a par with gas turbines of the 1940’s. The thermodynamics of MEMS gas turbines are the same as those for large engines but the mechanics differ ...
