Under this agreement, Prime Turbines will offer heavy repair services, engines rentals, line replacement unit rotable pools and field service support to all existing and future M601 and H80 engines. GE Aviation will provide OEM parts to meet Prime Turbine’s needs.
The H80 engine has received certification from 10 aviation authorities to date: EASA, FAA, Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Uruguay, Russia and South Africa. GE plans to pursue additional certifications as needed to support the growing H80-powered fleet. GE has also received EASA and FAA certification for both the H75 (750 SHP) as well as the H85 (850 SHP).
The H Series turboprop incorporates GE’s 3-D aerodynamic design techniques and advanced materials to create a powerful, fuel-efficient, durable engine with no recurrent fuel nozzle inspections and no hot section inspection for a multitude of uses: agricultural, business turboprops, commuter and utility aircraft.
