Noua turbina ACE cu viteza variabila

US Army i-au desemnat in octombrie pe cei de la ATEC (Advanced Turbine Engine Company) pentru a demonstra punerea in aplicare a conceptului pentru motor alternativ (ACE), o turbina cu viteza variabila bazata pe turbina HPW3000 al acelorasi ATEC, destinatia fiind viitoarele programe de zbor vertical cu elice.

ATEC HPW3000

ATEC este de fapt asocierea celor de la Honeywell cu Pratt&Whitney la dezvoltarea turbinei HPW3000, competitor programului ITEP (Improved Tourbine Engine Programe) al armatei SUA. Pana in 2018 era asteptata alegerea de catre armata a unui singur producator, care sa transpune proiectul in productie.

 

Programul ITEP are ca si obiective, comparativ cu turbina T700 de 2000CP actualmente in uz:

Referitor la flota in uz in fortele armate ale SUA, este estimat ca instalarea noii turbine pe intregul parc de elicoptere Apache si Sikorsky ar duce la economisirea a 1 mld. $ anual, in costuri cumulate.
