That was a rather stupid question wasn't it? I should have realized that it was.

I don't think so. If you don't know the answer, the question would appear to be a good one. Google.com coughed up the following links pages that you might find useful.

Do you know what the overall length of the turbine would have been?

Thought I had responded earlier.
The rotor length was 13 ft 8 in between 1st and last ring of blades. It looks like the overall length of the turbine engine itself was over 30 ft.
