And Performance

At the 1962 ASME meeting in Houston, Allison submitted a paper describing the possibilities of industrializing the T56 aircraft engine. Since that time, Allison has modified the engine for gas burning and is operating one as a prime mover for a 2000-kw generator at the Indianapolis Plant. In addition, two additional units are to be installed in the gas-transmisson field driving centrifugal gas compressors. This paper gives a description of the units and a status report on the installation and operation. Photographs of the installation and performance data, as necessary to complete the report, are included.

A Performance

A total of 4,698 performances by 904 athletes from 46 countries were analyzed to answer the following questions: (a) Were there significant differences in performance between athletes in each of the International Stoke Mandeville Games Federation (ISMGF) medical classifications? (b) To what extent did the classification system yield consistent results across events? (c) To what extent did performance discriminate between athletes in the various classes? (d) What classification systems would the performance data support? The analysis indicated that not all classes differed significantly from all other classes in performance and that there were different patterns of interclass performance between the track events and the throws. Individual athletic performance was shown not to be a good discriminator of medical classification, particularly for paraplegics. The data supported a reduction in the number of classifications from 7 to 3 in track and from 8 to 4 classes in the throws.

Industrial Gas Turbine

The General Electric LM5000 Marine Gas Turbine (see figure 1) intended for application to commercial and naval ships requiring high power (50,000 BHP nominal), high thermal efficiency (38 percent), and compact, marinized and relatively light weight prime movers is described. Ship candidates include Fast Support Ships, Aircraft Carriers [in a Combined Nuclear and Gas Turbine (CONAG) propulsion system], Battleships and large surface effect ships. The LM5000 marine gas turbine is a marinized version of the LM5000 industrial gas turbine which was derived in 1977 from the CF6-50 aircraft engine. The CF6-6 model of this family of aircraft engines was the parent of the over 648 GE LM2500 marine gas turbine now used on the ships of 18 navies, 32 ship programs and 247 ships of the world. Over 2100 of the CF6-50 mode] engines are used on over 600 of the McDonald Douglas DC-10, the Airbus A300 and the Boeing 747 aircraft. Since reliability and durability are dependent upon engine family experience, the hardware commonality with the CF6-50 aircraft engine is described as well as the associated experience, performance, installation and maintainability features.

Forecasting System

Spare parts shortages for engine programs in the late 1970’s, together with significant tightening of military spare parts budgets, prompted the development of a sophisticated forecasting system at General Electric Company, Aircraft Engine Business Group, Lynn, Massachusetts. GE’s system revolves around a generic simulation program containing the reliability, durability, maintainability and availability characteristics of an engine and its component parts in the data set. Subroutines of the program include the logic associated with particular types of maintenance policy such as on-condition maintenance, opportunistic maintenance, or scheduled part replacement.
