Advanced Techniques and Theories of Jet
Engine Balancing |
|
This course provides an in-depth look
at jet engine balancing and builds upon the foundation laid
in the Fundamentals of Jet Engine Balancing course.
This course combines lecture and hands-on instruction
focused on the theories behind jet engine balancing.
