Turbojet Trainer
Model Number: GT100
A fully instrumented, kerosene-powered educational gas turbine for hands-on performance investigations.
Overview
A self-contained, fully instrumented, educational single-shaft gas turbine. Powered by kerosene, the experimental abilities of this high-quality apparatus enable comprehensive practical investigations into the principles and performance of single-shaft gas turbines. It is a steel frame that holds a gas generator, combustion chamber, oil and fuel tanks, pumps, ancillaries and guards. Above these is an instrumentation and control panel with schematic diagram. The clearly labelled front panel with mimic diagram includes the instrument displays, controls and warning lights.
