EXPERIENCES OF A MULTIPLE GAS TURBINE MACHINERY IN A FAST PATROL CRAFT

The Swedish Spica-class torpedo boats have been in service now for some years. The experiences of the craft are reported good and some details are given in this paper of the results with the propulsion gas turbine, the gearing, the controllable pitch propeller, and the generator set gas turbine. Air intake problems in small craft are discussed as well as other problems connected with the multiple shaft installation.
