Garrett TPE331

This gas turbine engine was designed as both a turboshaft (TSE331) and a turboprop (TPE331). The turboshaft version never went into production; however, over 14,000 TPE331s have been sold. The military version (the T76) has the air inlet above the engine unlike most commercial versions.
