Development of the Micro Gas Turbine Engine

A mim turbo-shaft engine of 50HP for UAV, which can be easily modified to turbo-prop and turbo-jet engine by sharing the core engine and has many applications to civilian demands and munitions, will be developed This kind of micro gas turbine engine has been developed mostly by the corporations which have special technology but are small in its scale. Especially, the gas turbine engine can be easily applied to other fields and developed by domestic technology, so that the sharing of technology is planed to realize through the cooperations with academies and research institutes. In this paper, the gas turbine engine, which has the compressor ratio of 3.8, the turbine inlet temperature of l180K and the engine speed higher than 100,000 rpm, is composed of centrifugal compressor, combustor, gas generator turbine, free power turbine and gear box. The competitiveness of the gas turbine engine can be obtained from minimizing its cost by the utilization of domestic infrastructure for the performance test and the decisive outsourcing.
