Lycomings LTS 101 - Low Cost Turbine Power in the 600 hp Class

The LTS 101 has been designed to meet the requirements of low cost, high performance, and simplicity in a powerplant suitable for a variety of applications in the 600 shp class. This paper discusses the parametric cycle studies that led to integration of the LTS 101 aerodynamic components to achieve these goals, and presents results of full engine prototype tests. Design features that contribute to the low cost of ownership are described.
