The Industrial Turbines International GT601 Engine has been designed and is currently being tested as a gas turbine power plant specifically intended for onhighway truck propulsion. The somewhat unique aeromechanical design reflects the uncompromising economic demands of this market in terms of reliability, performance, and cost. This paper describes some of the studies leading to the adoption of the medium-pressure recuperated cycle. The near-term goals of performance superiority relative to current diesels can be achieved with the all-metal version of this engine. The introduction of ceramic components into future hightemperature verions of the GT601 indicates supremacy over projected turbocompound, adiabatic, bottoming cycle, and similar diesel engine developments projected for the late 1980s.
