General Electric T64
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The General Electric T64 was a turboshaft engine developed for use on helicopters. GE introduced the engine in 1964. The engine featured technical innovations such as corrosion resistant and high-temperature coatings.[1] The engine design featured a high pressure ratio, yielding low specific fuel consumption.
Later versions of the engine produce from 3,925 to 4,750 shp (2,927 to 3,542 kW).[2]
The engine is also used in several turboprop fixed-wing applications.
