报告摘要：
NASA has established the basic methods of jet engine performance modelling already at the beginning of the 1970's, i.e. at the dawn of the computing age. Since that, decades of development have made the numerical methods of jet engine performance to be highly reliable, efficient and precise.
Even today the base of these methods form similarity parameters, which already have been developed and reported in the 1930's. With this in mind, the application of engine performance programs in today's engine development programs and engine condition monitoring approaches is reviewed. It becomes obvious how rigorous scientific approaches and complex engineering craftsmanship are merged in today's application of engine performance.
Some of the challenges still to be mastered are derived from the above. They lead to engineering questions which again need a mixture of rigorous scientific and mathematical approaches as well as complex engineering craftsmanship.

报告摘要：
Today, Micro gas turbines are used in a variety of applications. The range is from scaled flight vehicles for scientific use and military drones to R/C modelling. The focus of this paper is the application in scaled flight vehicles for free flight experiments in a scientific environment. These micro gas turbines are used in the flight vehicle itself, but are also tested intensively in ground test beds. The basic layout of such engines is as a single spool engine with a single stage radial compressor, a combustor with vaporiser sticks and a single stage axial turbine. This design is used for both as a jet engine and for power shaft application. When it comes to test the performance of engines, the typical instrumentation for this purpose has to be implemented into the engine. Due to the small size of the gas path and the small diameter of micro gas turbines this is very challenging. Therefore, no rakes for multi radius measurements are used but there are pressure and temperature probes in different circumferential positions installed. The averaging of the measured data is both needed in time to reduce noise and in space to get a representative value for each engine station. The challenge of designing a combustion chamber for a micro gas turbine was successfully solved by the Institute of Aircraft Propulsion Systems. This was done by using CAD-modelling, CFD-calculations, tests in a water table and the final test in the engine. By operating a micro gas turbine under transient conditions like a cold start or a hot reslam manoeuvre, differences between the performance simulations and the test data has been seen. One explanation is the characteristic of the combustor with its vaporising sticks under acceleration manoeuvres, which leads to a partial combustion outside the whole engine.
For all issues mentioned above solutions are found and are presented.
