this turbine will be used to drive 4 hydraulic motors. Each motor will turn at about 200rpm. This speed will be geared up to about 2700 to 3000 rpm at a load of about 50ft lbs of torque. I was considering the Pratt and Whitney PT6a turboprop, but it is a little costly. Ashman, thanks for any info.

Helicopter engines are excellent and light, Huey engines can be bought occasionally for reasonable prices, still running but with too many hours for flying.....

have a look at rolls royce website. they make some small engines like the Viper. Rover built a Turbine truck engine of 350hp in the late sixties as did GM. I think Honda might be experimenting now.
