WR-21 gas turbine selected for Type 45 destroyer

摘要

A rolls-royceorthrop grumman team is to supply its new WR-21 intercooled recuperated marine gas turbine for the UK Royal Navy's Type 45 Daring-class destroyer programme after the Ministry of Defence (MoD) decided to set aside the industry-run competition for the ship's prime movers.rnGeneral Electric, bidding the LM2500 gas turbine, had also been competing for the prime mover requirement in a competition being managed by BAE Systems' Type 45 Prime Contract Office (PCO).
