⚙️ Engine Specifications
Engine
Engine type:
Free-turbine turboprop
Compressor:
Multi-stage axial compressor with a single-stage centrifugal compressor
Combustion chamber:
Reverse-flow annular combustion chamber
Turbine:
Gas generator turbine driving the compressor, with a separate free power turbine driving the propeller through a reduction gearbox
Engine family:
PT6A, the most widely used turboprop family in general and regional aviation
Power range across family:
N/A - output varies widely by dash number and flat-rating; consult the dash-specific data in the manual
Fuel System
Fuel type:
Aviation turbine fuel (jet fuel), per the operating limitations for the installation
Fuel metering:
Hydro-mechanical fuel control unit with fuel pump and governor
Ignition:
High-energy ignition for starting
Performance
Configuration:
Twin-shaft layout with a free power turbine, allowing the propeller to operate independently of compressor speed
Dimensional and output figures:
Values are dash-number specific
🔧 Transmission
Propeller Drive
Type:
Two-stage reduction gearbox built into the engine
Function:
Reduces power-turbine speed to propeller rpm, typically about 2,000 rpm at the prop flange
Output:
Flanged propeller shaft, with clockwise or counter-clockwise rotation depending on the variant and installation
Accessory Drive
Accessory gearbox:
Driven from the gas generator, with pads for the fuel pump, oil pump, starter-generator and other accessories
Mounting:
Engine is usually mounted at the front and rear trunnions, with the propeller at the front and exhaust at the rear
Features
Free-turbine design:
The propeller is not mechanically locked to the compressor, which reduces shock loading on the gear train
Torque measurement:
Torque is monitored at the reduction gearbox for cockpit indication
Ratings:
Reduction-gearbox torque limits and propeller rpm limits are dash-number specific
📐 Dimensions
Physical Data
Installed weight:
N/A - depends on dash number, accessories and propeller, so no single figure applies to the whole family
Length:
N/A - varies with dash number and accessory fitment
Dimensions unit:
Values are given in both metric and imperial units in the manual
Reference Figures
Typical dry weight:
Several PT6A variants are in the range of roughly 280 to 350 lb (about 127 to 160 kg) dry, before accessories and propeller
Typical installed weight:
Roughly 350 to 470 lb (about 160 to 215 kg) installed
Installation Notes
Mount system:
Front and rear trunnion mount pads with isolation bushes
Propeller flange:
Output flange at the front of the reduction gearbox
Exhaust:
Collector and exhaust duct at the rear, orientation depending on airframe installation
🛡️ Safety Features
Engine-Level Safety
Overspeed protection:
Mechanical and fuel-control limiting to protect the free power turbine and propeller
Torque limiting:
Torque is sensed at the reduction gearbox and displayed to the crew; a torque limit is enforced by the fuel control on several installations
Negative torque sensing:
NTS system drives the propeller blade angle toward feather if the power turbine drives the propeller, reducing hub and shaft loads
Hot-section containment:
Casing design contains turbine fragments if a blade release occurs
Fire detection and protection:
Airframe-installed fire detector loops and extinguisher bottles are provided for each nacelle on twin-engine installations
Accessory gearbox protection:
Chip detectors and magnetic plugs in the oil system catch metal debris for early fault detection
Operational Safety
Starting protection:
Fuel is scheduled by the fuel control to prevent hot starts and compressor stalls
Power-turbine limiting:
The power turbine governor protects the free turbine from overspeed as load changes
Manual safety content:
Includes tool control, torque discipline and inspection criteria throughout the service procedures
💡 Technology Features
Engine Technology
Compressor:
Multi-stage axial section feeding a single-stage centrifugal compressor
Combustion:
Reverse-flow annular combustor that shortens the engine and shields the turbine from direct flame
Turbine:
Two independent turbine wheels on separate shafts, so the propeller is driven by a free turbine
Fuel control:
Hydro-mechanical fuel control unit with a power-turbine governor
Accessory integration:
A single accessory gearbox drives the fuel pump, oil pump, starter-generator and other accessories
Monitoring
Instrumentation:
Engine gauges cover torque, inter-turbine temperature, gas-generator speed, propeller speed and oil pressure
