T700-GE-700 Five-stage axial-plus-single-stage centrifugal com-
pressor with integral particle separator, annular combustor,
two-stage compressor and power turbines. Military rating 1,500
s.h.p.; length 47in; width 25in; height 23in.
TF34 Two-shaft turbofan. As the US Navy-financed engine
for the Lockheed S-3A Viking, the TF34-GE-2 started scries
production in September 1972, and the first of the present
order for 101 S-3As should enter service in April this year.
An ultimate total of 191 aircraft for the Navy is expected. A
year ago the TF34-powered Fairchild Industries A-10A won
the USAF's AX close-air-support competition and an initial
batch of development aircraft is under construction. While
the potential USAF requirement is for 600 A-lOAs, thus
making the aircraft trebly important for the TF34 compared
with the S-3A, there is to be a fly-off competition between the
A-10A and the LTV A-7D Corsair II in March to determine
which of the two is best to fulfil the close-air-support role.
Total test time in the TF34 is in the region of 25,000hr, in-
cluding some 4,000 flight hours. The modified TF34-GE-100 ver-
sion for the A-10A is to be qualified late this year.
Applications and projects Fairchild Industries A-10A <2X
9,0001b TF34-GE-100); Lockheed S-3A Viking (2X9,2751b TF34-
GE-2); Rockwell International OV-10 Multi-Purpose Aircraft
(2XTF34).
TF34-GE-2 Single-stage fan, fourteen-stage h-p compressor,
annular combustor, two-stage h-p turbine, four-stage 1-p tur-
bine. Take-off 9,2751b; bypass ratio 6-2:1; pressure ratio 21:1;
mass flow 3381b/sec; length lOOin; diameter 52-3in; weight
1,1421b.
TF37 (CF700) Two-shaft aft-fan turbofan. Military version
of the CF700, the 4,2001b TF37-GE-1 powers the Bell Lunar
Landing Research and Training Vehicles.
TF39 Two-shaft turbofan. Sole application of this engine is
the Lockheed C-5A Galaxy (4X41,1001b TF39-GE-I) for the
USAF, of which about 80 have been built. Studies are under-
way on the use of two coupled C-5As as a ferry vehicle for
the forthcoming space shuttle. The TF39 provided the basis
for the CF6-6 civil tuvbofan.
TF39-GE-1 One-and-a-half-stage fan, 16-stage h-p compressor,
annular combustor, two-stage h-p turbine, five-stage 1-p tur-
bine. Take-off 41,1001b; bypass ratio 8 : 1 ; pressure ratio 2 6 : 1 ;
mass flow l,5491b/sec; length 20-3in; diameter lOOin; weight
7,0261b.
"Variable Cycle Engine Three-shaft turbofan. GE, together
with P&W, is under-taking design studies of variable-cycle
engines to meet a possible propulsion requirement for any
future American SST. The GE design has fans on both the
1-p and i-p shafts, each with its own annular bypass duct and
exhaust nozzle. The airflow is split downstream of each fan,
with the second split feeding air to the core engine forming
the h-p spool. The second fan bypass How embodies duct
burning, and together with the core engine exhaust, is fitted
with a noise suppressor. The variable configuration of the
engine is aimed at achieving low noise at take-off with
efficiency at supersonic cruise.
GLUSHENKOV (USSR)
Only two engines are known to have been produced by this
design bureau—the 950 s.h.p. TVD-I0 free-turbine turboprop
powering the twin-engined Beriev Be-30 transport, and the
900 s.h.p. GTD-3 turboshaft chosen for the twin-engined Kamov
Ka-25 helicopter. Problems with the TVD-10 are reported to
be the reason for termination of the Be-30 development pro-
gramme last year.

The Division engages in manufacture of a wide variety of
aircraft, space and ground systems and equipment, including
engine controls and starters, propellers and turbomachinery.

QFT55 Geared variable-pitch turbofan. Under a unique com-
pany sponsored project, Hamilton Standard has built and
tested an 8,3001b quiet turbofan demonstrator comprising an
Avco Lycoming T55-L-11A core engine and Hamilton Standard
Q-Fan variable-pitch fan with integral reduction gearing. The
Q-Fan is a 13-blade single-stage unit of 54in diameter and
carries the reduction gearing within its nose fairing, ahead
of the fan to facilitate accessibility. Testing of t h e QFT55 to
demonstrate fan-noise characteristics and fan/engine com-
patibility is Nasa-financcd and had reached iOOhr by mid-
1973. Other Nasa-backed Q-Fan work by Hamilton Standard
has included construction of 20in and Oft diameter v-p fans for
testing by Nasa.

IHI is Japan's leading manufacturer of aero engines, and
is t h e only company there with a design and development
capability. Current production activities include licence-
manufacture of the GE J79-GE-17 turbojets for McDonncll-
Douglas/Mitsubishi F-4EJ fighters, GE T64-GE-10 turboprops
for Lockheed/Kawasaki P-2J patrol aircraft and Shin Meiwa
PS-l/RS-1 flying boats, GE CT58-110s and -180 turboshafts for
Sikorsky/Mitsubishi HSS-2/2As and Boeing Vertol/Kawasaki
V-107-II/IIAs, and Rolls-Royce/Turbomeca Adour Mk 801X
turbofans for the Mitsubishi T-2 trainer. In addition the com-
pany is manufacturing its own 2,6501b J3-IHI-3 and 3,0901b
J3-IHI-7C turbojets for Fuji TIB intermediate trainers and
as auxiliary boosters on P-2Js. For the T-2, R-R has supplied
12 Adours and 50 more are on order—eight of which will be
assembled in the UK and the remainder in Japan, with IHI
manufacturing some of the components. There are plans to
build up to 127 T-2s by 1976, beyond when R-R sees a likely
Japanese requirement for more than 600 Adours. The Fuji
XT-3 trainer project is a further possible application for the
Adour. From April this year, IHI will also handle all main-
tenance and major overhaul work on the R-R RB.21I turbofans
powering All Nippon Airways TriStars.
Design and development work bv IHI includes the FJR710
turbofan, and the 3,1501b JR100, 4,6301b JR200 and 5,0261b
JR220 series of experimental lift-jets.
