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.
