美国 XM—1坦克在近来一系列的试验中出现了很多问题,主要是坦克的可靠性和持久性不能满足设计要求,具体的问题和故障发生在燃气轮机、传动装置、燃油系统、履带行动部分以及车内布置等各方面。至今,这些问题虽已陆续改进了二百七十项,但绝大多数的改进项目还没有通过充分的试验。在上述出现的问题中,关键问题是燃气轮动力装置。在试验过程中燃气轮机不但发生了多次故障,影响试验的进行,而且具有过高的油耗,据说,XM—1坦克的油耗约为 M60A1坦克的两倍。 In the recent series of tests, the United States XM-1 tank encountered many problems, mainly because the reliability and durability of the tank did not meet the design requirements. The specific problems and failures occurred in gas turbines, transmissions, fuel systems, track operations, and Car layout and other aspects. So far, although these problems have been successively improved by two hundred and seventy, most improvement projects have not yet passed adequate tests. Among the above problems, the key issue is the gas turbine power plant. In the course of the test, the gas turbine not only failed several times, affecting the test but also had excessive fuel consumption. It is said that the XM-1 tank consumes about twice as much fuel as the M60A1 tank.
