There are 28 companies who make industrial turbines. I think it is interesting to see how RR sits in this application.
In terms of mechanical drive generators only one company makes a model that produces more power than RR. That of course is GE.
"The Kill Switch killed the kit" Yeah...
Perhaps we are at some cathartric point in the course of technology. At RR we have a bunch of people who cling on to the 1950s because they just can't find the right road to take. They do their best to make it happen and suddenly events take them right back to the days of the Comet.
The young engineers are used to making the virtual world real. Then suddenly the ghost of the past wakes up and says "We tried that in 1949"
The Hughes corporation comes to mind.
Anyways time for some entertainment....to date THE BEST proven load carrier on the planet...
