HSC Stena Voyager
''Stena Voyager'' was a high-speed ferry owned by Stena Line which used to operate on their Belfast–Stranraer service. It was a member of the HSS 1500 class of high-speed ferries developed and introduced by Stena Line from 1996 onwards. In 2013, ''Stena Voyager'' was sold for scrap. It was towed to Landskrona, Sweden, where was broken up by Stena Recycling, another member of Stena Sphere. Design The vessel was a catamaran, and was designed with the aim of providing a comfortable and fast service. The sailing time between Belfast and Stranraer was 119 minutes. Power was provided by four GE Aviation gas turbines in a twin combined gas and gas (COGAG) configuration. The vessel employed four Kamewa waterjets for propulsion. The HSS class of ferries were designed to allow quick turnarounds at port. A specially designed linkspan provided ropeless mooring and allowed quick loading, unloading and servicing. Vehicles were loaded via two of the four stern doors and parked in a " ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
HSC Stena Explorer
''One World Karadeniz'' (previously ''Stena Explorer'') is a former high-speed ferry that operated Stena Line's Holyhead–Dún Laoghaire service between Great Britain and Ireland until 2014. It is a member of the HSS 1500 class of high-speed ferries introduced and developed by Stena Line from 1996 onwards. The HSS 1500 class vessels became the largest catamarans in service in the world. In 2015 the ferry was owned by Karadeniz Holding to be used as a floating office, research space and alternative power generator in Karmarine shipyard in Yalova near Istanbul, Turkey, as part of the ''Powerships'' project from the company that owned the vessel. However, in 2016 the vessel was on sale for as low as 6.5 Million Dollars. Design and construction ''Stena Explorer'' was constructed by Finnyards in Rauma, Finland, at a cost £65million. Construction commenced in June 1994 and was completed in February 1996, before entering service in April 1996. The vessel is a catamaran, and was ...

Destriero
''Destriero'' is a long, wide, 400-ton displacement, yacht built by Fincantieri in their Muggiano yard at La Spezia in 1991. She is fitted with three GE Aviation LM1600 gas turbines totalling , providing her with a maximum speed of . ''Destriero'' was built with the sponsorship of the Aga Khan IV and others specifically to cross the Atlantic Ocean in record time of 3 days and secure the Blue Riband. In 1992 ''Destriero'' crossed the Atlantic, without refuelling, twice, firstly westbound from Tarifa Point, Spain to Ambrose Light, New York. Her eastbound voyage was from the Ambrose Light to Bishop Rock, Isles of Scilly, a distance of , at an average speed of . Despite the record time of 58 hours, 34 minutes and 5 seconds, ''Destriero'' was denied the Hales Trophy, because she was classed as a " private yacht" and not a "commercial passenger vessel". ''Destriero'' did, however receive the Virgin Atlantic Challenge Trophy, awarded by former record-holder Richard Branson for ...

GE Aviation
GE Aviation, a subsidiary of General Electric, is headquartered in Evendale, Ohio, outside Cincinnati. GE Aviation is among the top aircraft engine suppliers, and offers engines for the majority of commercial aircraft. GE Aviation is part of the General Electric conglomerate, which is one of the world's largest corporations. The division operated under the name of General Electric Aircraft Engines (GEAE) until September 2005. GE Aviation's main competitors in the engine market are Pratt & Whitney and Rolls-Royce. Not only does GE Aviation manufacture engines under its own umbrella, it also partners with other manufacturers. CFM International, the world’s leading supplier of aircraft engines and GE’s most successful partnership, is a 50/50 joint venture with the French company Safran Aircraft Engines. As of 2019, CFM International holds 39% of the world's commercial aircraft engine market share (while GE Aviation itself holds a further 16%). GE and Safran also operate anot ...

Enigma (yacht)
''Enigma'' (formerly ''ECO'' and ''Katana'') is a large private superyacht. According to ''Power and Motoryacht'' magazine, she is owned by Aidan Barclay, son of the British media tycoon David Barclay, who recently purchased the ''Telegraph'' newspaper. She was sold after her former owner, Larry Ellison, took delivery of '' Rising Sun'', the 6th largest private yacht in the world. Measuring slightly more than 244 feet (or around 75 metres) long, ''Enigma'' was launched in 1991 and originally christened ''ECO'' by its former owner, Mexican mogul Emilio Azcárraga, founder and former CEO of TV and media conglomerate Televisa. ''Enigma'' is renowned for her design, including a pyramidal superstructure surrounded by convex windows and an agile design that enables her to achieve a maximum speed of 36 knots. The yacht has nine luxurious suites and the rear deck was originally designed to carry a Maule turboprop floatplane. She was built by German shipbuilder Blohm & Voss an ...

General Electric LM2500
The General Electric LM2500 is an industrial and marine gas turbine produced by GE Aviation. The LM2500 is a derivative of the General Electric CF6 aircraft engine. As of 2004, the U.S. Navy and at least 29 other navies had used a total of more than one thousand LM2500/LM2500+ gas turbines to power warships. Other uses include hydrofoils, hovercraft and fast ferries. In 2012, GE developed an FPSO version to serve the oil and gas industry's demand for a lighter, more compact version to generate electricity and drive compressors to send natural gas through pipelines. Design and development The LM2500 was first used on the US Navy in 1969, after the original FT-4 gas turbines experienced many technical problems. Later, they were used in US Navy warships in the of destroyers and the related , which were constructed from 1970. In this configuration it was rated to . This configuration was subsequently used into the 1980s in the s, and s. It was also used by one of People's Re ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Gas Turbine
A gas turbine, also called a combustion turbine, is a type of continuous flow internal combustion engine. The main parts common to all gas turbine engines form the power-producing part (known as the gas generator or core) and are, in the direction of flow: * a rotating gas compressor * a combustor * a compressor-driving turbine. Additional components have to be added to the gas generator to suit its application. Common to all is an air inlet but with different configurations to suit the requirements of marine use, land use or flight at speeds varying from stationary to supersonic. A propelling nozzle is added to produce thrust for flight. An extra turbine is added to drive a propeller (turboprop) or ducted fan (turbofan) to reduce fuel consumption (by increasing propulsive efficiency) at subsonic flight speeds. An extra turbine is also required to drive a helicopter rotor or land-vehicle transmission (turboshaft), marine propeller or electrical generator (power turbine). Greater ...

General Electric F404
The General Electric F404 and F412 are a family of afterburning turbofan engines in the class (static thrust). The series is produced by GE Aviation. Partners include Volvo Aero, which builds the RM12 variant. The F404 was developed into the larger F414 turbofan, as well as the experimental GE36 civil propfan. Design and development F404 GE developed the F404 for the F/A-18 Hornet, shortly after losing the competition for the F-15 Eagle's engine to Pratt & Whitney, and losing the Lightweight Fighter (LWF) competition to the Pratt & Whitney F100 powered YF-16. For the F/A-18, GE based the F404 on the YJ101 engine they had developed for the Northrop YF-17, enlarging the bypass ratio from .20 to .34 to enable higher fuel economy. The engine was designed with a higher priority on reliability than performance. Cost was the main goal in the design of the engine. GE also analyzed "throttle profiles" and found that pilots were changing throttle settings far more often than enginee ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

ISO 3977
International Organization for Standardization, ISO 3977 is an international standard related to the design and procurement of gas turbine system applications. ISO 3977 is based primarily on the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, ASME 133 series on gas turbines, as well as the American Petroleum Institute, API 616 and API 11PGT standards. The standard environmental design point of any gas turbine system is 15 °C, 60% relative humidity, and sea level elevation. The standard is divided into eight parts and covers procurement, design requirements, installation, and reliability.
