Wouldn't it be really really loud also?

Lots of lurking round here taught me
that turbines need frequent (every 500 hrs or so?)
and expensive overhauls


I'm not real knowledgeable on the topice but I had heard just the opposite
that the overhaul period was quite long, that they do need a intermittent
hot section inspections. I'd be curious to hear from someone that works on
them as to their normal average overhaul/maintenance times and how the
maintenance would cost compared to a recip.
