With the advent of complex, wide-screen visual flight simulators in the United States Air Force, there has also developed a significant problem with simulator-induced sickness. This paper reviews the history of this problem in the Air Force as it is understood at present and discusses its possible impact on training. It also reviews preliminary studies conducted on one of the most advanced visual systems developed thus far, the General Electric Visual System Component Development Program (VSCDP) as well as future Air Force plans for research on this system.

The 701G1 50Hz Combustion Turbine continues a long line of large heavy-duty single-shaft combustion turbines by combining the proven efficient and reliable concepts of the 501F and 701F. The output of the 701G1 is 255MW with combined cycle net efficiency of over 57%. A pan of component development was conducted under the joint development program with Tohoku Electric Power Co., Inc. and a part of the design work was carried out under the cooperation with Westinghouse Electric Corporation in the U.S.A. and Fiat Avio in Italy. This gas turbine is going to be installed to “Higashi Niigata Power Plants NO.4” of Tohoku Electric Power Co., Inc. in Japan. This plant will begin commercial operation in 1999. This paper describes some design results and new technologies in designing and developing this next generation 1500°C class advanced gas turbine.

Operational Ability

The new thermodynamic cycle using hydrogen energy is now under investigation by many engineers. The Japanese World Energy Network research program is also hydrogen technology development program. One of the target of the program is to develop the high thermal efficiency power plant without emissions. The H2-O2 fired gas turbine is the key technology of the project and the new RANKINE cycle is suggested as one of the most effective cycle. The new RANKINE cycle is based on the direct steam expansion cycle and the performance calculation has been examined to find the optimal operating point. For the cycle development, further investigations of the component development, the operational ability, and the cost competitiveness are important. Among these investigations, this paper reports the operational ability, especially the start up performance. In this analysis, the algorithm and flow line for start up is developed. And the investigation finds that the new RANKINE cycle has the good possibility for the practical use.
