The turbine that drives the compressor has two stages, with the first stage using single-crystal blades. A free power turbine with two stages drives the propeller through an inner shaft and a gearbox. [16]: 83–84 The engine has replaceable steel blades and vanes, which are more reliable but heavier than titanium. [15]
The Block 3 turbine became standard in July 2012 for new production models. By September 2012, all older engines that were undergoing regular maintenance were systematically upgraded to the Block 3 turbine. Engines with a future planned block 4 upgrade would be expected to deliver nearly 10,000 horsepower (7,500 kilowatts). [19]
The Artouste II family, mainly used in the Aérospatiale Alouette II helicopter, had a one-stage centrifugal compressor and a two-stage turbine, with gearbox-limited power of 300 kW (400 hp). The Artouste III family, mainly used in Aérospatiale's Alouette III and Lama helicopters, had a two-stage axial-centrifugal compressor and a three-stage ...
The GE axial compressor design was directly influenced by NACA with their 8-stage compressor. [1] NACA had developed the theory and designed and tested the compressor. [2] General Electric adopted a single shaft engine configuration, like the Rolls-Royce Dart, where the turbine drove both the compressor and the propeller reduction gearbox. This ...

The Teledyne CAE J402 is an American small turbojet engine. Several variants have been developed to power unmanned air vehicles such as missiles and target drones. Developed in the 1970s for the Harpoon anti-ship missile, the J402 was the first jet engine to be designed as a "wooden round", meaning that the engine had to be able to sit for long periods without maintenance or inspection and ...
