THE USE OF SINGLE-SHAFT AVIATION GAS-TURBINE ENGINES IN HYDROFOILS,
Abstract
Single-shaft aviation TVDs (AI-20A and others) can be used successfully in SPKs without fundamental structural changes. Single-shaft aviation TVDs can be used in conjunction with controllable pitch aircraft type propellers, with controllable, or fixed, pitch propellers used for ships, or with a water-jet propeller. When production line single-shaft aviation TVDs are used as main engines the most suitable propeller for river ships is the water-jet propeller, which has a long life and makes the solution to the problem of reviving up the TVD during starting a comparatively simple one. Aviation GTDs run reliably on diesel fuel, as well as on kerosene, and all parameters remain virtually unchanged. The conversion of aviation single-shaft TVDs system for controlling rpm and power output, required when the engines are used with a water-jet propeller or a fixed pitch marine propeller and a hydraulic clutch, is very simple and reduces to taking out the governor and replacing the fuel pump with a fuel pump-governor.
