NH Industries NH90 With the prospect of a GE take-over looming large, speculation is mounting that Honeywell may divest its turboshaft engines to form a new, separate company. The formation of a standalone, predominantly turboshaft/turboprop engine company would satisfy US defense department concerns over excessive reliance on GE and Rolls-Royce. Chiefly important in the line-up are the ubiquitous T53 and T55 engines for the Bell UH- 1/AH-1 and Boeing CH-47 respectively. Of less er importance, as far as the DoD is concerned, are the company's TPE3 31-11 powering the FMA/Lockheed Martin Aircraft Argentina Pucara and the -12 B pow ering the Tucano. The TFE731-2A also powers the Pakistan-Chinese developed Hongdu/PAC K-8 Karakorum advanced trainer/light attack aircraft, though Chinese versions use the Progress AI-2 5TL.

Following production of the F100 for the F-15J, the Rolls-Royce T56 for the P-3C and the T700 for the H-60J, IHI is now producing the GE Fl 10 for the Mitsubishi F-2 fighter. Domestic Japanese production of the engine amounted to 40% at the start of the programme in 1998, but is now growing towards a 76% target as procurement climbs through the 45 mark.

Having failed to find a place on the US Navy T-45A, the AIDC/Han Hsiang ofTaiwan and the Honeywell-developed F124/F125 family is not only enjoying new \ success powering the L-159 but was also selected for Boeing's X-45 UCAV demonstrator. Further UCAV and fixed wing roles are being explored. Core was proposed as the basis for the AS812F turboprop rejected for the A400M.

Engine also known as TFE1042-70 Klimov is developing a new generation of turboshafts to supplement, and eventually replace, its well-known TV3 -117VM/VMA engine now powering virtually all medium sized Russian military helicopters. The new family includes the VK-1500 (certificated at the end of 2000), the VK-2 500 (designated the TV3 -117VMA- SB3), the VK-3000 (TV7-117V) and the more powerful "fifth generation" VK-3 500 (TVA-3000). The VK-1500 isa2,400to2,700shp variant oftheTVZ-117. The even more recendy certificated VK-2 500 builds on the upgraded TV3 -117VMA and incorporates the BARK-78 full authority digital engine control system (FADEC), while the VK- 3 000 is based on the TV7 -117 S turboprop developed for the Ilyushin II-114. Mlitary versions of the VK-2 500 are being built at Klimov's St Petersburg plant, while Motor SiCh in Zaporozh'e is producing civil variants. Two basic versions of the VK-3000 are being produced: a "forward-facing" con figured version for the Mi-3 8 and others, and a "rearward-facing" variant for the Ka-52 and others. The experimental, 2,2 3 5 to 2,980kw range VK-3 500 is a high ly modular design with a two-stage, single shaft radial flow compressor and up to 1,000 fewer parts overall. Flight tests have also been made of the recendy developed KlimovRD-133 engine on the MiG-29. The more powerful MiG engine is derived from the RD-33/33Kand is equipped with the KLIVT (Klimov Thrust Vectoring System) nozzle. The engine, with an increased thrust of around 20,0001b (89kN), is being developed for installation in the MiG-29SMT and -29UBT 56 FLIGHT INTERNATIONAL 8 - 14 May 2001
