  • OV-10A propeller rotational speed at 100%---2000rpm.Engine rotational speed at 100% RPM ---41,730RPM.

  • The OV-10A aircraft is powered by two Garrett-AiResearch T-76-G (TPE-331) series fixed-shaft turboprop engine,rated at 715 shaft horsepower.The major engine components consist of the reduction gearbox.The propellers are counter-rotating, enabled by the use of different gearboxes.

  • I wonder if the prop is direct drive?

    or if there is a reduction gear,

    or transmission between the prop and the turbine.

  • The OV10A T76 turbine engine has a gear box.

  • i love how you can hear the ignitors at 9 seconds

  • @MultiRedneck62 so did my dad!!

  • I was a crewchief on these during the early 80s at wheeler afb Hawaii. It was great aircraft to work on!

  • @poodleslayer Tu-95 pilots get permanent ear damage, still awesome job though.

  • Turboprops are much lighter than piston engines for the amount of power they produce. They're also simpler, and so are more reliable. Also, a spinning motion is far less stressful on components than a reciprocating motion is.

    Another advantage is that since most turboprops run at a constant speed, with the propeller blade angle increasing to absorb any tendency to accelerate, they have very quick power response.

  • The blade tips of the Tu-95 "Bear's" props are also supersonic. And like the T-6, it's known for its noise.

  • Direct drive, sounds like a Garrett. It wasnt even running yet... lol
