Proposed General Propulsion Procedure & Operation of Gas Turbine / APU Electric Drive Option # 1 Running twin Gas Turbine producing >5,800 total Hp., Estimated Speed 50+ knots for high speed interdiction, higher speeds mean extended “Cone of Interdiction” coverage area. Option # 2 Running a relatively small auxiliary fuel efficient (18.2 Gal. / Hr.) Gas Turbine electric generator ( 335 Hp.) directly running two efficient electric motors for low speed patrol and low fuel conservation, Estimated speed 10-13 knots. Option # 3 Running Single gas turbine producing 2,921 total Hp., Est. Speed 35+ knots; for medium speed and lower fuel consumption. As the single engine propeller operation of the EML “Hydro-Multi-Lift” hull form does not push against the keel of the vessel, the vessel steering is not effected as in Deep V hull forms, thus the water entering the propeller area is clear of turbulent backwash from the keel. The EML “Hydro-Multi-Lift” hull design is on plane quickly and efficiently, conserving fuel for longer range and extended cone of interdiction coverage. http://livepage.apple.com/
