A typical dual-mode (cartridge-pneumatic) jet engine starter is discussed with respect to its basic design and functional purpose. The establishment of starter output requirements for satisfactory engine starting is presented as an aid to understanding the design problem encountered for a jet engine starter. Discussion of energy conversion and particular design parameters concentrates on the cartridge mode of operation and the handling of the high-temperature, high-pressure gas produced by the starter cartridge.
