IS IT CORRECT TO SAY THAT A FRAME OR LAND TYPE GAS TURBINE WILL BE SINGLE SHAFT, WHEREAS AN AERO-DERIVATIVE WOULD ALWAYS BE TWO SHAFT?

ANY RELATED COMMENTS?


THANK YOU
 
No. There are plenty of two-shaft industrial types out there, especially the smaller designs which are often used as process drives. Large power generation designs tend to be single shaft. The majority of aero-derivative designs are multi-shaft regardless of final application.
