Allison PD370-42 Advanced Turboprop Engine.
Abstract
This study developed data on Detroit Diesel Allison (DDA) common core derivative engines for use in Maritime Patrol Aircraft (MPA) concept formulation studies. The study included the screening of potential DDA turboprop/turboshaft engines and the preparation of technical and planning information on three of the most promising engine candidates plus an all new engine. Screening of DDA Derivative candidates was performed utilizing an analytical MPA model using synthesized mission profiles to rank the candidates in terms of fuel consumption, weight, cost and complexity. The three turboprop engines selected for further study were as follows: a derivative of the unity size T701-AD-700 shaft power engine with rematched turbine (PD 370-37), an advanced T701 turboprop derivative with 25:1 overall pressure ratio and a scaled ATEGG demonstrated compressor (PD 370-40), an advanced T701 turboprop derivative with 17.7:1 overall pressure ratio and a scaled ATEGG demonstrated compressor (PD 370-41). Data is also presented on a new advanced turboprop engine with 30:1 overall pressure ratio which incorporates compressor, combustor, turbine, and cooling technology now under development and demonstration at DDA. The documentation consists of six separate reports prepared in the following manner. One report summarizes the engine screening analysis and describes the approach to, and the conclusions of the study.
