| Description | The gas turbine is a highly responsive, high speed piece of machinery. In an aircraft application, the gas turbine can accelerate from idle to maximum take-off power in less than 60 seconds. In industrial gas turbines, the acceleration rate is limited by the mass moment of inertia of the driven equipment. This responsiveness does not come without a downside. Without a proper control system: the compressor can go into surge in less than 50 milliseconds; the turbine can exceed safe temperatures in less than a quarter of a second; and the power turbine can go into overspeed in less than two seconds. Furthermore, changes in ambient temperature and ambient pressure, deviations that may not even be noticed, can adversely affect the operation of the gas turbine.
