Model 250 turboprop

As a part of the Model 250 family, the first 317shp Model 250-B15 turboprop has grown with the core engine into a family of highly successful engines for light fixed-wing aircraft, culminating in today's 450shp Model 250-B17F.

The Model 250 turboprop has found popularity due to its small size and high power-to-weight ratio, which make it ideal for Original Equipment Manufacture Type Certified designs and for Supplemental Type Certificate conversions of existing piston-engined designs. Over 1,200 Model 250 turboprops have now been produced, with over 5 million flight hours.

These lightweight, high-power engines operate on all certified aircraft fuels, a feature favoured by operators taking them into remote regions of the world. Their legendary reliability combined with vibration free turbine smoothness gives an easy ride to both the passengers and the airframe components. Often cutting internal cabin noise levels by over 10 dBA, pilots and passengers of Model 250 turboprop powered aircraft can converse at normal levels, without headsets!

The Model 250 turboprop enjoys the same world-class global support as the turboshaft family, and benefits from a continuous improvement culture which has seen the Model 250 remain at the forefront of small gas turbine engine design.

The latest generation Model 250-B17F turboprop is common to the Model 250-C20R+ turboshaft, and develops 450shp. The Model 250 turboprop has been gaining popularity, with approximately 20 current applications, including the Fuji T-7 trainer, B-N Group Defender, O&N Cessna P210 Silver Eagle, Soloy Cessna MkII 206 and Tradewinds Turbine Bonanza.
