Aero-TV: Honeywell's TPE 331-14 -- Powering the Next-Gen Kestrel

Rugged Regional Airliner Mill Powers Klapmeier's Turboprop

When Alan Klapmeier went shopping around for an engine to power his new Kestrel turboprop airplane, the mill that he determined would be the best fit for the airplane was the Honeywell TPE 331-14.

Mike Bevans, Senior Director of Technical Sales for BizAv and GA with Honeywell, told ANN and NBAA in Las Vegas the company was very pleased to be selected the program, based on Alan's track record.

The engine was developed for regional turboprop airliners, and Bevins said there are about 450 of them all over the world powering Jetstream 41s and other similar airplanes.

Bevans said the engine can be rated up to 1600 SHP, but for Kestrel, it will be "flat rated" at 1000 SHP, giving the same performance for takeoff, climb, and cruise.

Bevans said the Kestrel program will likely open up new markets for the "Dash 14," as the engine is known, and will spur the company to do more with it in the future.
