Gas Turbine Engine Picture

Title
Gas Turbine Engine Picture
Description
The gas turbine engine continues as a major source of propulsion effort for advanced systems being programmed into the Air Force inventory. Successful operation of these engines will be dependent on several critical improvements in high-temperature operating materials, one such limiting material is the lubricant. In addition, future lubricants will be expected to serve as hydraulic fluid for engine systems. Therefore a major decrease in the rate of internal contaminant generation must also be programmed.
