An Innovative Approach To Turbo-Prop Design Is Shaking Up BizAv

While at NBAA2015, ANN CEO and Editor-In-Chief, Jim Campbell, decided to take a look at a new GE turboprop engine being developed for light aircraft. This led him to talk with Brad Mottier, the Vice President of Business and General Aviation and Integrated Systems for GE Aviation. GE calls the new engine, an advanced turboprop, and it was officially introduced at NBAA2015. Mottier said the engine has been on the drawing board for a few years and it’s planned to provide 10 percent more power on 20 percent less fuel at higher altitudes.<
