ABSTRACT:
Difficulties in starting a turbine engine, particularly ones having a small volume combustor (83) with a low dome height, may be avoided by a method including the steps of a) forming the turbine engine compressor (48) of a low density, high temperature resistant ceramic material, b) directing pyrotechnic gases at a temperature of at least about 3,000.degree. F. against the blades (48) of the compressor, c) continuing the step of directing until the turbine rotor (44) is rotating at at least about 60 percent of rated speed and d) combusting fuel in the combustor (83) of the turbine engine to maintain the rotor (44) rotating at at least about 60 percent of rated speed.
