    The story of Westinghouse gas turbine experience lists the many "firsts" achieved during the more than 50 years prior to the sale of the Power Generation Business Unit to Siemens, AG in 1998. [4] As indicated below, the history actually begins with the successful development of the first fully US-designed jet engine during World War II.

  3. Westinghouse J34 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westinghouse_J34

    The Westinghouse J34, company designation Westinghouse 24C, was a turbojet engine developed by Westinghouse Aviation Gas Turbine Division in the late 1940s. Essentially an enlarged version of the earlier Westinghouse J30 , the J34 produced 3,000 pounds of thrust, twice as much as the J30.

  4. Components of jet engines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Components_of_jet_engines

    The propelling nozzle converts a gas turbine or gas generator into a jet engine. Power available in the gas turbine exhaust is converted into a high speed propelling jet by the nozzle. The power is defined by typical gauge pressure and temperature values for a turbojet of 20 psi (140 kPa) and 1,000 °F (538 °C). [18]

  5. Free-turbine turboshaft - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-turbine_turboshaft

    A free-turbine turboshaft is a form of turboshaft or turboprop gas turbine engine where the power is extracted from the exhaust stream of a gas turbine by an independent turbine, downstream of the gas turbine. The power turbine is not mechanically connected to the turbines that drive the compressors, hence the term "free", referring to the ...

  6. Westinghouse Aviation Gas Turbine Division - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westinghouse_Aviation_Gas...

    The Westinghouse Aviation Gas Turbine Division (AGT) was established by Westinghouse Electric Corporation in 1945 to continue the development and production of its gas turbine engines for aircraft propulsion under contract to the US Navy Bureau of Aeronautics. The AGT Division was headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri, where it remained in ...

  7. Westinghouse J32 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westinghouse_J32

    The engine's high cost and continuing development delays led to the cancellation of the TD2N-1 program in 1946. Westinghouse manufactured 24 of the 9.5A and 20 of the 9.5B engines. Despite their limited use, they constituted the first family of small turbojet engines successfully developed and produced in the United States. [1]

  8. Westinghouse J40 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westinghouse_J40

    J40 powered XF3H-1 prototype on the USS Coral Sea in 1953. Westinghouse Electric Corporation established the Westinghouse Aviation Gas Turbine Division (AGT) in 1945. Along with General Electric, Westinghouse had extensive experience in turbine design that put them in the lead over established aviation engine manufacturers, who had little experience with these entirely new design concepts.

  9. Turbine inlet air cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbine_Inlet_Air_Cooling

    An inlet air cooling system installed in a desert-dry area to increase turbine power output. Turbine inlet air cooling is a group of technologies and techniques consisting of cooling down the intake air of the gas turbine. The direct consequence of cooling the turbine inlet air is power output augmentation.
