The GEM 60 was a 60-inch-diameter (1,500 mm) solid motor used on the Delta IV family of launch vehicles, used with and without thrust vector control. [17] Developed for the EELV program, its first flight was on 20 November 2002, boosting the first launch of the Delta IV. [23] Delta IV Medium+ launchers were built with either two or four GEM 60 ...
GMC's own V8 was the 637-cubic-inch (10.4 L) unit, which was essentially a 478 V6 with two cylinders added. It shared the 5.125 in × 3.86 in (130.2 mm × 98.0 mm) bore and stroke and used a single camshaft.
The High Value engine family from General Motors is a group of cam-in-block or overhead valve V6 engines.These engines feature cast iron blocks and aluminum heads, and use the same 60° vee bank as the 60° V6 family they are based on, but the new 99 mm (3.90 in) bore required offsetting the bores by 1.5 mm (0.059 in) away from the engine center line.
The GMC V6 is a family of 60-degree V6 engines produced by the GMC division of General Motors from 1959 through 1974. It was developed into both gasoline and diesel versions, and produced in V8 and V12 derivatives. Examples of this engine family were found in pickup trucks, Suburbans, heavier trucks, and motor coaches.
In 1998, the 11.1-liter Detroit Diesel Series 60 was discontinued. [5] Once the 11.1-liter Series 60 was discontinued, the 12.7-liter Detroit Diesel Series 60 became the motorcoach application. Starting in the late 1990s, Neoplan made the Series 60 as an available engine for their high-floor and low-floor articulated buses - the AN460A and ...
The XLR11-RM-5 engine was first used in the Bell X-1.On October 14, 1947, the X-1 became the first aircraft to fly faster than the speed of sound (Mach 1). The XLR11-RM-5 was also used in the X-1A and X-1B, and as a booster engine in the U.S. Navy's D-558-2 Douglas Skyrocket turbojet (where it was designated the XLR8-RM-5).
The initial version, the Merlin 1A, used an inexpensive, expendable, ablatively cooled composite nozzle and produced 340 kN (76,000 lbf) of thrust. The Merlin 1A flew only twice: first on March 24, 2006, when it caught fire and failed due to a fuel leak shortly after launch, [5] [6] and the second time on March 21, 2007, when it performed successfully.
