T901 Engine
Selected by the U.S. Army to enhance the power and performance of the Apache (AH-64) and Black Hawk (UH-60).
As Apache and Black Hawk helicopters add capabilities and associated weight, they are also required to perform at higher and hotter conditions than originally designed. This led to the need for increased power over the previous T700 engine. In response, GE Aerospace developed the T901 by building on their unparalleled experience and record with the U.S. Army’s Apache and Black Hawk helicopters.
GE Aerospace has developed the T901 over 45 years of AH-64 and UH-60 operational experience to pioneer the future of rotorcraft aviation
Proven, reliable technology.
The T901 engine provides 50% more power, 25% better specific fuel consumption, and reduced life cycle costs, all with fewer parts, a simpler design and with proven, reliable technology.
