1000 - 3000hp turboprop Catalyst™

0 - 1000hpfor general aviationfor business aircraft

The Catalyst engine is the new advanced turboprop heralding a new era in business and general aviation. By utilizing technologies proven on GE’s larger commercial engines over millions of flight hours, it is balancing “all new” with “low risk and high value,” thus advancing airframer, operator, passenger, and pilot experience. The first business and general aviation application for the Catalyst will be introduced on the brand-new Beechcraft Denali. Explore the Catalyst engine The Catalyst engine features an industry-best 16:1 overall pressure ratio enabling the engine to achieve as much as 18 percent lower fuel burn and 10 percent higher cruise power compared to competitors in the same size class. A game changer The Catalyst engine - aimed at the 1200-1400 SHP range - is the first modern turboprop ever built with 3D-printed parts, writing a pioneering chapter for the aviation industry. Avio Aero and GE’s engineers incorporated customer feedback into the engine’s design and development, for engineering design flexibility and a more pleasant, quiet, and sustainable journey for pilots and passengers. The turboprop of the 21st century Catalyst engine is the culmination of our commitment to extensive research and development, and advanced engineering with state-of-the-art technology and additive manufacturing componentry, ultimately delivering the best power-to-weight ratio in its engine class. This capability also allows for increased range, added payload, and a larger, quieter cabin. Jet-like flying experience The result is a simplified cockpit with a single-lever power control, fewer instruments to monitor and more precise engine controls.
