The Navy Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) Service Life Extension Program (SLEP) upgrades the current TF40B gas turbine engine and analog control system on the LCAC to an Enhanced TF40B (ETF40B) gas turbine with a Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC) system. This upgrade and enhancement will provide additional engine horsepower, increased engine reliability, and modern digital engine control equipment to the LCAC. The success of the ETF40B engine development program has been an ongoing effort between the Navy, the LCAC craft builder Textron Marine & Land Systems (TM&LS), and the engine manufacturer Honeywell Engine and Systems. This paper will document and outline the differences between the TF40B and ETF40B and the efforts of the ETF40B 150 hour endurance qualification test.

Engine Development

The Garrett GTPF990 gas turbine engine is being developed under a U.S. Navy contract to fulfill both propulsion and generator drive repuirements. This is a unique second-generation marine engine that is not derived from an aircraft engine counterpart. The engine development is nearing completion, endurance testing has started, and all other qualification testing has been conducted. This paper is a development status report. A description of the engine and special maintenance features is presented. Emphasis is placed on qualification test results, development test experience, and the resulting design improvements.
