Power & Performance
Picture
PT6A-67R

Essential to the performance of any aircraft is its power plant. The BT-67 is superbly equipped in this respect with the PT6A-67R Turboprop engines from Pratt & Whitney Canada.  The versatility and proven performance of the PT6A makes it the engine of choice for demanding, high-cycle/high-power applications.   The numbers speak for themselves:  the PT6A engine currently power aircraft in service with over 7,100 operators in more than 180 countries and having accumulated over 400+ million flying hours.
Picture
The novel PT6A configuration has proven to be a key attribute to its success: its rearward, reverse flow inlet and forward facing turbine section providing fast maintenance turn-around through on-wing hot section refurbishment.  The PT6A is a two-shaft engine with a multi-stage compressor driven by a single-state compressor turbine and an independent shaft coupling the power turbine to the propeller through an epicyclic concentric reduction gearbox.
