Check out
Google) wallypowerboats and scroll down to the 118 ft vessel. I'm supporting 3 TF50's producing 5600 each @ 1350 lbs each. The fuel burn is approximately 280 gal's/hr. each and will do 70 mph with all three on the line.
There are 2 small diesels that will power the craft 11 mph when the turbines are off line.
Another example of turbine power is the Geico racer which is powered by the T53 turbine (used in the UH 1H many,many years). They have both engines tweked to around 2000 shp.
The US Navy have in there LCAC's (4)ETF4B turbines rated approximately at 4900 shp in the landing craft and will carry the M1 tank (72 ton) over 70 mph.
I support another craft in Buenos Aires that has four TF40's,4400 shp, carrying 300 passengers capable of operating at 53 kts if needed. This was demostrated in N.Y. where it was built.
Other TF50 applications are in the Pershing's as a center boost again rated at 5600 shp, Mangusta's either as main power or center boost all TF40's in the 108 ft class.
There are vertical turbine driven water pumps in Japan that I also support that will pump 25 tons/sec in various cities used for flood control and are based on the same power output.
