Turboméca TM 333

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Turboméca TM 333 is a turboshaft engine designed for 5 to 6-ton-class helicopters. It was originally intended to power Eurocopter's twin-engine Dauphin and Panther helicopters. The TM 333 found its first commercial application on the HAL Dhruv. The TM 333 2B2 develops 825 kW at takeoff, with growth potential to 900 kW for subsequent versions. The TM 333 2B2 is the sole production engine used on the Dhruv. Several hundred engines have been ordered, with deliveries in progress.
