Zitat:Honeywell's auxiliary power units selected for Sikorsky-Boeing's Defiant X as testing ramps uphttps://www.janes.com/defence-news/air-p...g-ramps-up
A Lockheed Martin Sikorsky-Boeing team announced on 25 April that it had selected Honeywell's GTCP 36-150 auxiliary power unit (APU), main engine generator, and APU generator for its Defiant X helicopter. The awards come after Honeywell was selected on 10 February to supply the HTS7500 turboshaft engine for the Defiant X platform.
The APU for the Defiant X is a modified derivative of Honeywell's GTCP 36-150 APU series in use with the Boeing AH-64 Apache and CH-47 Chinook helicopters and in several Gulfstream jets, but customised to meet US Army specifications. [...] The 36-150 APU “delivers compressed air for main engine starting, air conditioning, anti-ice, and heating systems. They are capable of delivering air and shaft power simultaneously or individually”, the company said.
