MaartenD Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Hello my name is Maarten, I am a Belgian last year high school student: aircraft technology. For my graduation I have to write a paper about the eingines of the C-130 Hercules. I've found a lot of information about the Allison T56 but it's more difficult to find the wright information about the Rolls Royce AE2100 engine. I need to know the differences between those two engines so I can compare them with each other. Do you know websites I have to visit or can you tell me somthing about those engines, any kind of information is welcome. If someone can help me with it I will be most thankful.

PerfManJ Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 The Rolls-Royce website is a good place to start, with product sheets for both the T56 and AE2100: http://www.rolls-royce.com/defence/products/transporters/ C-130E = T56-A-7 C-130H = T56-A-15 (single shaft, mechanical controls) L-100 = 501-D22A (commercial version of T56) C-130J = AE2100D3 (two shaft, full digital controls (FADEC), higher flat rating than T56 (more power at higher density altitude)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaartenD Posted November 25, 2013 Author Share Posted November 25, 2013 Dear, this site is not so good. I need more information than just the speed, etc.. I need information about corrections,.. So I can compare them with the Allison T56. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerfManJ Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 What kind of "corrections" are you looking for? Most of the detail design and technical parameters are proprietary... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PerfManJ Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Here's another briefing from Rolls-Royce with some high-level differences: http://www.lockheedmartin.com/content/dam/lockheed/data/aero/documents/global-sustainment/product-support/2012HOC-Presentations/Monday/Mon%201550%20Habersham-Rolls%20Royce-Roy%20Griffin.pdf AE2100D3 major improvements over T56: Two shaft (eliminates need for safety coupling and NTS system, allows speed optimization of individual turbine stages) Digital controls (FADEC, precise control and measurement) Higher pressure ratio (reduced fuel consumption and more power at higher density altitude) Reduced part count (maintenance and weight savings) Improved aerodynamic efficiency of turbine blades (reduced fuel consumption) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaartenD Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 But I need also some technical sheets if that's possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
