Aeroderivative gas turbines are generally based on existing aircraft gas turbine engines and are smaller and lighter than industrial gas turbines.<ref name="Robb">{{cite web|url=https://www.turbomachinerymag.com/aeroderivative-gas-turbines/|title=Aeroderivative gas turbines|last=Robb|first=Drew|date=December 1, 2017|work=Turbomachinery International Magazine|access-date=26 June 2020}}</ref>

Aeroderivatives are used in electrical power generation due to their ability to be shut down and handle load changes more quickly than industrial machines.<ref>{{cite conference |first=R.

Common types include the [[General Electric LM2500]], [[General Electric LM6000]], and aeroderivative versions of the [[Pratt & Whitney PW4000]], [[Pratt & Whitney FT4]] and [[Rolls-Royce RB211]].<ref name="Robb"/>
