The gas turbine has many virtues as a power plant for land-vehicles, including low maintenance cost, low noise, vibration and emissions and good 'driveability'. Estimates of Production costs indicate that the turbine need be no more expensive in first cost than reciprocating engines. To be competitive, the gas turbine needs only to demonstrate low fuel consumption. This can be achieved by the use of high working temperatures and an effective heat exchanger. Low cost materials are therefore being developed for operation at high temperatures and which can be fabricated into the complex components used in gas turbines. After a review of the requirements and duty cycles of gas turbines for land vehicles, the material requirements for each of the major components are discussed. (Wassmann)
