Abstract :
DESIGNED TO BE DRIVEN at 24,000 rpm by a gas turbine, the G-80 alternator is a 50-kw generator for supplying a-c power to 3-phase 208/120-volt 400-cycle aircraft electric systems. This equipment combines the lightness of high-speed electric rotating equipment with the possibility of direct connection to a high-speed gas turbine, thereby eliminating gearing and replacing the noise and vibration of the reciprocating engine with the comparatively quiet and smooth flow of power from the turbine.
