This is a 1,000 mm (3 ft 3 + 3 ⁄ 8 in) (meter gauge) version of the C40-9W. It was manufactured between 1997 and 2006. All 141 examples of the model are owned by the Estrada de Ferro Vitória a Minas [4] (EFVM), a railroad in Brazil. The model is equipped with four B-style trucks, two at each end, replacing the conventional C-style trucks.
GE developed a variable afterburner for the engine, although electronic control linked with engine controls had to wait until the J47. [5] Marrett describes one of the potential consequences of manual control of the engine and afterburner on a turbine engine: if the afterburner lit but the pilot failed to ensure the nozzle opened, the RPM ...
The bpr in VTOL operation was 12.3. [7] This tip-turbine driven lift-fan concept was turned 90 degrees and developed as an 80-inch-diameter "cruise fan" demonstrator, driven by a J79 gas generator. [4] For the CX-X program GE demonstrated a half-scale engine, the GE1/6, with 15,830 lb thrust and an sfc of 0.336. [8]
This model was manufactured between 1984 and 1989, with 49 examples of the model built for North American railroads. All but 4 of these units were ordered by Norfolk Southern. The others were 3 units ordered by Burlington Northern Railroad, and a GE demonstrator unit. Prime mover: GE 12-cylinder V-type 7FDL-12 four stroke diesel engine
