Powerful Allison Team Used in all Four U.S. Turbine-Propeller Planes

Turbine-driven propellers solve many urgent needs for truly high performing aircraft. They provide the answer to the desired combination of heavy payload, higher peed and longer range. Yet turbine engines, plus propellers, permit take-off and landing from shorter runways.

Out in front and pioneering to prove the place of turboprops in today's and tomorrow's aviation spectrum, are three U.S. Navy aircraft powered with six-bladed contra-rotation Aeroprops and Allison T40 twin turboprop engines.

Serving with all three is America's only commercial-type turbine transport-the Allison Turboliner. Equipped with Aeroprop four-bladed propellers and Allison turboprop engines, it is General Motors' contribution to the proof-testing of turbines and propellers in a broad band of military and commercial aircraft applications.
