General Electric T64

General Electric T64

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. [http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/aircraft/systems/t64.htm GE T64 page] , GlobalSecurity.org, accessed October 29, 2007.] 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). [http://www.geae.com/engines/military/t64/index.html T64 turboshaft page] , GE Aviation, accessed October 29, 2007.]

The engine is also used in several turboprop fixed-wing applications.
