Title: Allison PD 370-42 advanced turboprop engine. Final report, October 1978-February 1979

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5912106

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 370-4D al and experimental results attests to the accuracy of the assembled mechanism in its description of the homogenrt documents program highlights and research results for CY 1979 along with plans for the completion of program investigations. Postirradiation test data are presented for plateen chemical s.
