1. LEARNING STEP 1: Identify the operational characteristics of the T-700 Engine.
a. Operational Description.
(1)
The General Electric T-700 engine is a front drive turboshaft type engine utilizing a gas generator, Gas Generator Speed (Ng), section consisting of a five stage axial and a single stage centrifugal flow compressor, an air cooled two stage axial flow high pressure turbine (44,700 rpm = 100% Ng speed), and a free or independent two stage un-cooled axial flow power turbine, Power Turbine Speed (Np).  

(2)
The power turbine shaft, which has a rated speed of 20,900 rpm, 100% Np / Main Rotor Speed (Nr), is coaxial and extends to the front end of the engine where, via a splined joint, it is connected to the output shaft assembly for airframe engine power extraction.

b.
 Operational Sections.

(1)
A thorough understanding of Ng and Np is key to understanding the cockpit controls, instruments, operational characteristics, and malfunction analysis of the T-700 engine.  

(2)
Ng and Np are synonymous with N1 and N2; these abbreviations generally represent two operational sections common to all turboshaft engines, regardless of the manufacturer.
