From corporate to charter operators, from skydiving to medical support and cargo transport, H-Series engine – a product of Avio Aero, a GE Aerospace company – is renowned for its reliability. The H-Series thrives in rugged conditions that require mission readiness, short takeoffs, weight variability and safe operation: in the hottest deserts, over the highest peaks and across the most remote archipelagos. Available in a range from 550 to 850 SHP, this turboprop engine family’s configuration allows seamless integration into a variety of airframe types.
Advanced turboprop propulsion technology
The H-Series engine is a two-shaft, reverse flow engine with a free turbine, available with first-in-class Electronic Engine and Propeller Control (EEPC). The engine has an axial compressor and compressor turbine featuring 3D geometry design. Fuel is distributed to the chamber via the slinger ring combustor architecture, which simplifies maintenance and eliminates the need for recurrent fuel nozzle inspections. The propulsion section is powered by a single-stage turbine driving a two-stage planetary gearbox.
Electronic Controls
The EEPC system, featuring fully integrated engine and propeller operations, provides safer operation and reduces pilot workload by simplifying engine operation with a single lever power control that enhances engine operability. An Aerobatic version of H-Series engine, with a unique multi attitude lubrification system designed to enable flight with zero gravity and strengthened structure for demanding aerobatic maneuvers is undergoing final development tests.
