Description: The General Electric CT7 introduced in 1984 is a variant of proven T700 turboshaft engine which powers Sikorsky's H-60 Hawk helicopter. CT7 was designed to power fixed wing aircraft such as CASA/IPTN CN-235 tactical transport and Saab 340 airliner. CT7 models intended to power turboprop aircraft comprise CT7-5 and CT7-9 variants. The engine family is rated between 1,700 and 2,145 shp.
