Amount that soil erosion can be reduced on the average farm by using aerial application.

The H80 turboprop engine’s redesigned compressor and turbine allow for a dramatically shorter takeoff distance, lower maintenance than other engines, and increased power in hot temperatures and higher altitudes.

H80 Turboprop Engine

GE is incorporating sophisticated technologies like a bladed disc rotor design, improved compressor and turbine aerodynamics, and high temperature capability materials into the H80. These improvements deliver more shaft horsepower, better engine fuel efficiency and increased temperature margin, significantly enhancing hot-day takeoff performance and high-altitude cruise speeds in business and general aviation.
