T55-714C Turboshaft Engine
The 714C is a next-generation version of the battle-proven T55 engine family, which powers the U.S. Army’s Chinook heavy-lift helicopters and has accumulated more than 12 million flight hours around the globe. Designed to excel in the harshest of environments, the 714C has been engineered with high sand tolerance.
The upgraded 6000-horsepower engine provides a number of improvements over its predecessor, including:
- 20% more power
- Twice the operating range for high, hot and heavy missions with full payload
- 8% lower specific fuel consumption (SFC)
- 25% reduction in operational and support costs
- TBO of 3000 hours
Next-gen T55 engine
The 714C is available as a new production engine, or as an upgrade kit for conversion of older T55-714A engines, which can be easily fitted during an overhaul.
