Many Ways to Start a Turbine Engine
471Let's try to describe all the different ways used to start a gas turbine engine. We're including fighter jets, airliners, helicopters and industrial ground running engines.
I will include video examples of as many that I can, and here are some links to other vids:

The F-22 startup, featuring a cartridge start of a small starter engine. The video has been edited to cut out the windup of the main engine. I don't know why they did that.
