A partnership between Rolls-Royce and Honeywell, Light Helicopter Turbine Engine Company (LHTEC) has signed an agreement with Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) to provide military and civilian helicopter engines to Turkey.

LHTEC will supply CTS800 turbo-shaft engines for the Turkish Light Utility Helicopter, Honeywell said in a statement on Dec. 11.

“The agreement consists of a five-year development program to integrate and certify the CTS800-4AT engine model on the Turkish Light Utility Helicopter (TLUH) platform. It is expected to result in a production program that will provide helicopters to the local Turkish military and civil market, as well as globally,” the statement said.

It added that LHTEC plans to industrialize production and maintenance of the engine in Turkey, boosting the Turkish aerospace market by providing local opportunities for manufacturing and depot repair.

“LHTEC is committed to working with local Turkish companies to manufacture the CTS800 engine as well as establish a local depot with maintenance and repair capabilities to support these future fleets,” LHTEC president Daryl Mastin.

The CTS800 family of engines ranges from 1,360 to 1,700 shaft horse power (shp), with the CTS800-4N equipped with a full-authority digital engine control (FADEC) that reduces pilot workload and facilitates the engine’s on-condition maintenance program.

The company also said the development program delivers a number of technical and commercial advantages.

“For delivery in 2020, Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) will design a 5-ton, twin-engine utility helicopter equipped with the CTS800, the same engine model that powers the T129 ATAK helicopters currently in use by the Turkish Land Forces,” it said.

Could we use that engines in UAV's ?
Honeywell and Lycoming are joint companies. Right ?

Since it is a helicopter engine, if your UAV is an heli, why not?
But it will be big one like 2.5 tonnes for a single engine

You should please educate a bit,

that's the dry weight of an ATAK engine

143 kg

Doesn't matter if it is UAV or fixed wing aircraft. Depends only on design and gear system.

That's an missile boat engine

is that not overpowered? 1700 hp we could make anka 3 times bigger with huge payload

or hayabusa engine 197 hp whole bike weights 260 kg with fuel..
engine weight is only ~80 kg.. the best would be the sound of that thing

only 1300 cc though... Honda Goldwing's 1800cc 6 cylinder engine would have a better chance

or better yet! twin hayabusa engines ! WITH TWIN TURBO!
