Philosophy applied by Ford Motor Co in developing gas turbine for heavy trucks centered around search of different cycles; component efficiencies used in cycle analyses and cycles investigated; cycle comparison and part-load investigation; near constant-speed feature of h-p spool combined with almost constant reheat-burner temperature and varying air-flow characteristics of l-p spool produced excellent part-load fuel economy in cycle n 11; engine using this cycle is under development.
