ABSTRACT:
A drive unit for land vehicles, especially track-laying vehicles armored on all sides. The drive unit has a gas turbine consisting of a gas generator and a useful turbine connected subsequent thereto which acts upon a drive axle by way of a drive or transmission. The gas turbine is arranged above the transmission, with the longitudinal axis thereof extending in direction of the vehicle longitudinal axis. The air inlet is provided near the upper wall, and the exhaust gas outlet is provided in the vicinity of the rear wall of the vehicle. The arrangement of the drive unit for a land vehicle permits the smallest possible construction and allows the installation of as many devices serving a military purpose as possible. Provision is also made for auxiliary devices to be operated independently of the traveling drive.
