Authors Abstract
Content
THE GT-304 Whirlflre engine, incorporating fuel-saving regeneration, has been built to overcome shortcomings of earlier vehicular gas-turbine models.
The overall power package was given prime consideration. Attention was focused on design and location of each component to achieve a compact, well-integrated assembly.
These basic design considerations and preliminary operating experience are the subject of this paper.
