GE T901
GE Aerospace T901 development-stage turboshaft selected by the U.S. Army for the Improved Turbine Engine Program and future Apache AH-64 and Black Hawk UH-60 capability. GE states that T901 provides 50% more power and 25% better specific fuel consumption than the preceding T700, with a simpler modular design, ceramic-matrix-composite hot-section technology, and identical mounts, inlet, and exhaust for integration. Army-accepted engines reached UH-60 flight-test preparation and successful Black Hawk ground runs in 2025; no operational service entry is asserted.
