Happy 50th Birthday to the Pratt & Whitney PT6 Engine

Happy 50th Birthday to the Pratt & Whitney PT6 Engine
http://feedly.com/k/1fyUJpK

The First Production PT6 in December, 1963. Photo: Pratt & Whitney Canada

Today is the 50th birthday of the first delivery of the legendary Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6 turboprop. That first engine was delivered to Beech Aircraft Company for installation into an aircraft that would become the equally remarkable Beechcraft King Air.

The PT6 had its genesis at what was then the United Aircraft of Canada Limited factory in Longueuil, Quebec. In the mid-1950s, UACL had looked at the market and determined that there was a need for a small, efficient turboprop in the 500 shaft horsepower (SHP) range. They felt there was technology available to replace current radial piston engines that dated back to the 1920s, like the P & W Wasp. 

So in 1957, a group of 12 young engineers got together to design a powerplant that was unlike any engine of its time. Turboprops of the day were massive, such as the 4,000 SHP Allison T56 that powered the Lockheed C-130 Hercules, or they were early-generation and inefficient, like the Rolls-Royce Dart that flew on the Vickers Viscount.

The engineering team made design choices that would stand the test of time. They separated the gas generator and the power sections of the turbine. Think of your car – the gas generator in the PT6 is like your engine, and the power section is the transmission. Other turboprops had the gas generator directly connected to the power section. If that was in your car, it would be like trying to start and drive it with the transmission always engaged. By splitting the engine, starting was much easier and maintenance was hugely simplified. The design is also called a "free turbine".

the inlet before turning and entering the engine. Photo: Howard Slutsken

The team also decided to make the PT6 a "reverse flow" engine. If you look at a PT6A, say, on a deHavilland Canada DHC-3T Turbine Otter, you'll see that the engine's air inlet is under and behind the propeller. The air travels below and to the rear of the engine before it makes a 90-degree upwards turn, enters the generator, and changes direction a few times as it gets compressed and ignited. The exhaust is in the forward part of the engine, not in the back. If you look carefully at this video, you'll see how the air flows through the engine. The two main sections are separate, with the forward, power section driving the prop, and the rear, gas generator driving the accessories at the rear of the engine.

Since the first PT6 was delivered 50 years ago, Pratt & Whitney Canada has impressively improved the engine, taking advantage of the many advances in material technologies, manufacturing processes, aerodynamics, and electronics. Today's PT6 is up to four times more powerful than the first turboprop, with up to 20% lower fuel consumption.

The PT6′s statistics are impressive. Over 51,000 engines have been produced, powering more than 130 different applications. There are more than 69 different models, from 500 SHP to over 2,000 SHP.  You'll find PT6s in planes and helicopters, and the engines have also powered boats, cars and trains. In 1967, a PT6-powered racecar even led the Indy 500 until 8 miles from the end, when a $6 transmission bearing failed.

BONUS: My Quest to Ride on a Beechcraft Starship: The EPIC Flight

You might have flown on an airline flight in a plane powered by the PT6, on a deHavilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter or DHC-7 STOLplane, a Beechcraft 1900, Shorts SD360, Embraer Bandeirante  or Pilatus PC-12. And there are a huge number of business-aircraft applications, including AirlineReporter.com's Editor's favorite, the Beechcraft Starship. PT6s, everywhere!

A Beechcraft Starship shows off its twin, pusher PT6A turboprops.

BONUS: List of PT6 Applications (click the "Aircraft" tab)

Over 7,200 operators worldwide are flying aircraft powered by the PT6, and have logged over 385 million flying hours. P&WC says that if you were flying a PT6-powered plane at a speed of 310 mph, that would be like going to the moon and back 250,000 times. If any engine could do that, it would be the PT6.

Sikorsky's Rotor Blown Wing -- Look Familiar?

Sikorsky's Rotor Blown Wing -- Look Familiar?
http://feedly.com/k/1fPwhRy

Unmanned Rotor Blown Wing (Concept: Sikorsky)

When I first saw Sikorsky's Unmanned Rotor Blown Wing concept for DARPA'S VTOL X-Plane program, it reminded me of something. But I couldn't remember what, so I sought expert help. And the answer? It's Boeing's Heliwing - a tailsitter VTOL unmanned aircraft that flew, briefly, in 1995.

Heliwing (Photo: Boeing)

Heliwing was funded by the Pentagon's UAV Joint Program Office (remember that?). It was a 17ft-span, 1,450lb gross-weight UAV with two 7ft-diameter proprotors powered by a single 240shp Williams WTS117 turboshaft. The Heliwing was intended to reach 180kt in forward flight and carry a 200lb payload for 5hr. The sole example first flew in April 1995, but crashed in July when the engine flamed out and the program was shelved.

Sikorsky is working on conceptual and preliminary design of the Unmanned Rotor Blown Wing with Lockheed Martin Skunk Works under a 22-month, $14.4 million VTOL X-Plane Phase 1 contract. DARPA is expected to award up to four Phase 1 contracts. Aurora Flight Sciences has one, but isn't saying what its design looks like. And Boeing is tipped to get one for its Phantom Swift ducted-fan design (seen below). DARPA plans to pick one design to fly in 2017.
 

Phantom Swift subscale model (Photo: Boeing)

DARPA's goal for VTOL X-Plane is to fly a demonstrator capable of 300-400kt forward speed, but with a high hover efficiency (within 25% of ideal power loading) in vertical flight and high cruise efficiency (lift-to-drag ratio better than 10) in horizontal flight. In seeking proposals, the agency said it was looking for simplicity and elegance in design and encouraged innovative proposals and not simply improvements to existing designs.

Sikorsky isn't saying much about the Rotor Blown Wing concept except to confirm what the artist's impression strongly suggests -- it is a tailsitter like the Heliwing. The name suggests the wing remains aligned into the proprotor wash throughout transition between vertical and forward. That would reduce download on the wing in hover mode. But details beyond the five-blade proprotors and lack of horizontal tails are scarce.
