A 7500-SHP Gas Turbine for Naval Boost Propulsion

Frank R. Harris

Open publisher page 6 citations

Abstract

The G.6 gas turbine, of 7500-shp output, forms part of the combined steam-turbine and gas-turbine propulsion machinery currently being installed in two classes of British naval ships. The design specification included some requirements of a novel nature; details are given of the mechanical construction of the gas turbine, and of its test-bed performance. The possibilities of further development are outlined.
