Garrett Engine Update

Abstract

Promavia's Jet Squalus F‐1300NGT flew for the first time near Milan, Italy, with a TFE109 engine from the Garrett Turbine Engine Company, Phoenix, Arizona. Reports from the first flight noted the exceptionally low sound level and excellent performance of the aircraft. The TFE109 is a derivative of the US Air Force's F109 engine currently in flight test.
