Honeywell HTS900
The Honeywell HTS900 is a wave turbine designed by the American manufacturer Honeywell for use in helicopters .
History and Development
The engine is a further development of the Lycoming LTP 101 (today Honeywell LTS101) and is intended to replace it in the long term. It was approved in December 2008. It was supposed to be used in the Bell ARH-70 , but its procurement credit of 6.2 billion dollars was rejected by the US Congress in October 2008. Both the Swiss copters will use it for their prototype SH09 and the American XTI Aircraft Company for their prototype XTI Tri Fan 600 .
Technical specifications
The engine has a two-stage radial compressor (adopted from the Honeywell T800 ), which is driven by a single-stage turbine. The output shaft is driven by a single-stage turbine. The engine is controlled by a double redundant FADEC system.
