T901

Inspired by experience
Powering the future of Army aviation

Selected by the U.S. Army to enhance the power and performance of the Apache (AH-64) and Black Hawk (UH-60).

As Apache and Black Hawk helicopters add capabilities and associated weight, they are also required to perform at higher and hotter conditions than originally designed. This led to the need for increased power over the previous T700 engine. In response, GE Aerospace developed the T901 by building on their unparalleled experience and record with the U.S. Army’s Apache and Black Hawk helicopters.
