PT6 TURBOPROP ENGINES

The Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6 is one of the most popular turboprop aircraft engines in history,[2] and is produced by Pratt & Whitney Canada. The PT6 family is particularly well known for its extremely high reliability, with MTBOs on the order of 9000 hours in some models.[3] In US military use, they are designated as T74 or T101. The main variant, the PT6A, is available in a wide variety of models, covering the power range between 580 and 920 shaft horsepower in the original series, and up to 1,940 shp (1,450 kW) in the "large" lines. The PT6B and PT6C are turboshaft variants for helicopters.
