INTRODUCTION The Aircraft Gas Turbine Engine (AGTE) has developed into one of the key technological achievements of the twentieth century. Its development has revolutionalized travel. Along with television, the computer, and the unlocking of the secrets of the atom, the turbojet has lent its name to an age -- the "jet age." But what do we know of its development? Ask any American sixth-grade child who invented the lightbulb and they will tell you it was Thomas Edison. But ask them who invented the first two jet engines to fly, and they would not know. British schoolchildren can probably tell you who the first inventor of the aircraft jet engine was -- Sir Frank Whittle, but then again, the British have always been more attentive to their own history than we Americans have been to ours. Millions of people have flown in turbojet, turboshaft, and turboprop-driven aircraft, but few of those people would recognize the names of Dr. Hans von Ohain, Sir Frank Whittle, Dr. Anselm Franz, William "Bill" Brown, Gerhard Neumann, or other turbojet pioneers who have worked to make the AGTE the technological marvel that it is today. Although there have been excellent books published on reciprocating aircraft engines developed in the United States, and despite the publication of the Origins of the Turbojet Revolution, by Edward Constant III, very little has been written to relate and analyze the development of the aircraft gas turbine engine in this country. The AGTE has undergone tremendous growth and development, both in the United Stated and overseas. There have been remarkable advances in the technology and

OVERVIEW: The CH-53 Sea Stallion is the most common name for the Sikorsky S-65 family of heavy-lift transport helicopters. Originally developed for use by the United States Marine Corps, it is also in service with Germany, Iran, Israel, and Mexico. The United States Air Force operated the HH-53 "Super Jolly Green Giant" during the late- and post-Vietnam War era, updating most of them as the MH-53 Pave Low. The dimensionally-similar CH-53E Super Stallion is a heavier-lifting, improved version designated S-80E by Sikorsky. Its third engine makes it more powerful than the Sea Stallion, which it has replaced in the heavy-lift mission.
  • Helicopter Turboshafts

    Helicopter Turboshafts

    Helicopter Turboshafts Luke Stuyvenberg University of Colorado at Boulder Department of Aerospace Engineering The application of gas turbine engines in helicopters is discussed. The work- ings of turboshafts and the history of their use in helicopters is briefly described. Ideal cycle analyses of the Boeing 502-14 and of the General Electric T64 turboshaft engine are performed. I. Introduction to Turboshafts Turboshafts are an adaptation of gas turbine technology in which the principle output is shaft power from the expansion of hot gas through the turbine, rather than thrust from the exhaust of these gases. They have found a wide variety of applications ranging from air compression to auxiliary power generation to racing boat propulsion and more. This paper, however, will focus primarily on the application of turboshaft technology to providing main power for helicopters, to achieve extended vertical flight. II. Relationship to Turbojets As a variation of the gas turbine, turboshafts are very similar to turbojets. The operating principle is identical: atmospheric gases are ingested at the inlet, compressed, mixed with fuel and combusted, then expanded through a turbine which powers the compressor. There are two key diferences which separate turboshafts from turbojets, however. Figure 1. Basic Turboshaft Operation Note the absence of a mechanical connection between the HPT and LPT. An ideal turboshaft extracts with the HPT only the power necessary to turn the compressor, and with the LPT all remaining power from the expansion process. 1 of 10 American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics A. Emphasis on Shaft Power Unlike turbojets, the primary purpose of which is to produce thrust from the expanded gases, turboshafts are intended to extract shaft horsepower (shp).

This gives the B-1B greater lethality and survivability through the integration of precision and standoff weapons and a robust ECM suite. CMUP will include GPS receivers, a MIL-STD-1760 weapon interface, secure radios, and improved computers to support precision weapons, initially the JDAM, followed by the Joint Standoff Weapon (JSOW) and the Joint Air to Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM).
