Description of the initial design of the AGT-102 advanced automotive gas turbine powertrain by Chrysler Corporation and Williams International Corporation. It reflects an emphasis on simplicity, light weight, driveability, producibility, packageability, and competitive overall cost appropriate to future front wheel drive vehicles. The basic engine is a 78-hp, single-shaft, gas turbine engine with a 2300 F (1260 Cel) turbine inlet temperature and a rotor speed of 99500 rpm. The engine has a centrifugal compressor, ceramic radial turbine, dual ceramic regenerator, and a lean premixed, prevaporized, fixed geometry combustor. The vehicle is driven through a two-range, synchronous shift, metal compression belt continuously variable transmission. A response assist flywheel is incorporated into the reduction gear train to achieve acceptable levels of engine response. (Wassmann)
