the Medium PT6 added another power turbine stage(2) -41 thru the -60 engines [30] the PT6B is a helicopter turboshaft model, featuring an offset reduction gearbox with a freewheeling clutch and power turbine governor, producing 1,000 horsepower (750 kilowatts) at 4,500 rpm.
Congress only approved the purchase when it was assured that a U.S. source would be found for the PT6T engines. This source was Pratt & Whitney Engine Services in Bridgeport, West Virginia, which was established in 1971 to assemble and test new T400-WV-402 engines. As a result, the U.S. military ordered 294 Bell 212s under the designation UH-1N ...
A free-turbine turboshaft is a form of turboshaft or turboprop gas turbine engine where the power is extracted from the exhaust stream of a gas turbine by an independent turbine, downstream of the gas turbine. The power turbine is not mechanically connected to the turbines that drive the compressors, hence the term "free", referring to the ...
Diagram of a typical gas turbine jet engine. Air is compressed by the compressor blades as it enters the engine, and it is mixed and burned with fuel in the combustion section. The hot exhaust gases provide forward thrust and turn the turbines which drive the compressor blades. 1. Intake 2. Low pressure compression 3. High pressure compression ...
The first turbine-powered, shaft-driven helicopter was the Kaman K-225, a development of Charles Kaman's K-125 synchropter, which used a Boeing T50 turboshaft engine to power it on 11 December 1951. [35] December 1963 saw the first delivery of Pratt & Whitney Canada's PT6 turboprop engine for the then Beechcraft 87, soon to become Beechcraft ...
PT6 or PT-6 may refer to: Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6, a popular turboprop aircraft engine; Cunningham-Hall PT-6, an American six-seat cabin biplane aircraft of the 1920s; Nanchang PT-6, export version of the Chinese Nanchang CJ-6 basic trainer aircraft; Consolidated PT-6, a variant of a two-seat trainer and sports plane of the 1920s and 1930s
The engines, designated PW535E1, are rated at 3,478 lbf (15.47 kN)/ [4] Unveiled at the May 2023 EBACE show, the FADEC-controlled PW545D is developed for the Cessna 560XL Ascend variant, to be rated at 4,200 lbf (19 kN) and optimized for improved fuel burn and longer time between overhauls (TBO) up to 6,000 hours.

Axi-symmetric stall, more commonly known as compressor surge; or pressure surge, is a complete breakdown in compression resulting in a reversal of flow and the violent expulsion of previously compressed air out through the engine intake, due to the compressor's inability to continue working against the already-compressed air behind it.
