ABSTRACT:
A small gas turbine engine for generating thrust and shaft horsepower is provided. The engine is comprised in a flow series arrangement of an inlet, a diffuser, a single stage compressor, a fuel slinger combustor, a single stage turbine, and an exhaust nozzle. The compressor circumscribes the turbine and is mounted on the same rotating wheel so that the flow of air in the compressor is in the direction opposite to the direction of hot gas flow in the turbine. Accordingly, both the compressor and turbine are on the same side of the combustor and hence only a single bearing support structure is required.
