Highlighting this company's exhibit is a new
turboprop engine, displayed for the first time.
This engine culminates an extensive development programme which has produced more
than 9,000 small gas turbines for world-wide
applications. Also shown for the first time is a
mock-up of the environmental control system
developed for Project Gemini, the two-man,
two-week space vehicle. This system creates an
artificial environment for the astronauts while
they orbit the Earth at temperatures and
pressures so extreme they could only survive
for seconds if unprotected.
Garrett's central air data system for the
F-104 is shown. This system serves as the
nerve centre for all electronic systems of this
aircraft. In all, a total of 45 components and
systems are on display.
