Safran Makila 1K2
Safran Makila 1K2 is a Makila-family turboshaft model with a distinct attack-helicopter application: Safran identifies it as the engine installed in South Africa's Denel Aviation Rooivalk, and South African Air Force specifications list 1,376 kW (1,845 shp) per engine. Engine lifecycle remains unknown because the current evidence establishes the exact rating and aircraft application, not a standalone production-status claim.
