Hello,

  I have been looking about the web in an effort to learn a little about
aero-engine theory. A flight sim I play is in the process of being upgraded
and I've been asked to prepare a small document describing some sort of
semi-accurate system for simulating the power curves of various engines. As
it stands the system does not even take into account air pressure, so
there's a lot of ground to cover.

  I was wondering if you could point to me a good resource on this topic?
Google turns up little sadly. I know the basics already (as a pilot) but I'd
like to clear up a few areas in particular. Or if it's OK with you, I could
simply list my 1/2 dozen questions?

Go ahead and list your questions Maury.
