Aeroderivative gas turbine engines (AGTDs) are the most advanced within the typical range of power plant drives. Energy concentration per unit volume, at close to the maximum permissible values, operates in a lightweight gas turbine design, while the time between overhauls for AGTEs is, in some cases, twice that of industrial gas turbines.
These factors primarily impose the highest demands on materials and manufacturing technologies for assys and parts of aeroderivative gas turbines, and, consequently, the cost of their manufacture and reconditioning. Additionally, it's important to note the unique design features of this type of gas turbine engines, which include the fact, that some parts and assys of the AGTE have a limited life cycle, while similar parts found in industrial gas turbine engines have a significantly longer lifecycle.
