30년 스테디셀러, GE ‘7F 가스터빈’의 기술 혁신의 불꽃
1990년 6월에 첫 가동을 시작한 이래, 전 세계에 약 1,000여 기가 설치된 7F 가스터빈은 5천만 시간 이상의 누적 가동시간을 기록 중이다. 7F 가스터빈은 60.4%의 열효율을 자랑하며, 756 메가와트를 출력할 수 있는데, F-클래스 가스터빈을 탄생시키기 위한 브랜트와 그의 팀의 업적은 가스터빈 산업과 GE의 첨단 기술 발전에 큰 영향을 주었다.

Progress isn’t a 9-5 job. It can happen anywhere, at any time. We’re proud of our employees for going above and beyond the call of duty to better the world during COVID-19. #GEProud
Today, we’re celebrating all the #WomenInScience who break down barriers to make real progress happen. Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science 
For over a century, GE employees have been solving the world’s toughest problems. Today, with COVID-19, those problems look a little different. And still, they're going above and beyond to solve them. Because whatever the world brings, our people will rise to the challenge. 
The day to day may look different, but that won’t stop these GE employees from making a difference. We’re proud of the work our people are doing to rise to the challenge of fighting COVID-19. #GEProud 
Thanks to @geadditive , parts with complex geometries can also have simply stunning designs. Just look at this a-CT7 engine mid-frame from the GE Additive Pittsburgh Center. Designed for the a-CT7 turboprop demonstrator engine, this mid-frame used to be traditionally manufactured with 300 individual components and 7 assemblies. With additive, the team got it down to just one piece, one assembly. Part reductions like this can result in higher performance and efficiency levels, as well as significant weight reductions. And that’s the job of an additive manufacturer: making the impossible, possible. #additive #3Dprinting #avgeeks #engineering
