SPECIFICATIONS FOR LINEAR INDUCTION MOTOR P/N 546230, TURBOALTERNATOR PACKAGE P/N 546798, AUXILIARY POWER UNIT P/N 928288, MANUAL CONTROL P/N 44290

The document describes the basic power systems supplied for the linear induction motor test vehicle. The alternator is matched to the turbine, and is capable of providing 3000KVA at 0.6 pf. at 173 Hz, which can be exceeded only by using military overload' of the gas turbine. The linear induction motor was designed to be compatible with the turboalternator and produce 3750 lb thrust, 0 to 250 mph, 2500hp. The linear induction motor, however, is also capable of much higher performance if suitable electrical power is supplied. (Author)
