From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The T800 is a next generation turboshaft engine for rotary wing applications, and is produced by the Light Helicopter Turbine Engine Company (LHTEC) . A joint venture between Rolls-Royce and Honeywell, the company was originally a partnership between the Allison Engine Company and AlliedSignal. In 1995 Rolls-Royce acquired Allison Allison Engine Company, and in 1999 AlliedSignal merged with Honeywell and adopted its name.
The engine was primarily developed for the U.S. Army's RAH-66 Comanche armed reconnaissance helicopter, in the T800-LHT-802 version. With the cancellation of this 650+ aircraft project the T800 will have to rely on its secondary applications.
