This paper describes the FT8 gas turbine, which has been introduced by Turbo Power and Marine System (TPM). The FT8 is derived from the Pratt and Whitney JT8D aircraft engine and the TPM FT4 industrial gas turbine. The FT8 has been launched with a collaboration program between TPM and the China National Aerotechnology Import-Export Corporation (CATIC) of the People's Republic of China. The collaboration program includes co-production of certain components and a 37-unit order from CATIC over a 10-year period of marine and industrial applications.
