it would take up to three axial-compressor stages to absorb similar amounts of shaft work that a single centrifugal compressor stage would. In fact, the added engine length, with so many axial stages, ...

Reciprocating air compressors can achieve air flows of up to 100 CFM. Rotary air compressors can reach 1500 CFM with a single stage and up to 2500 CFM with two stages. Centrifugal air compressors ...
