Rolls-Royce T406

The Rolls-Royce T406 is a turboshaft engine developed by Allison Engine Company that powers the Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey tiltrotor. The engine delivers 6,000 shp (4,500 kW).

Development
In 1982, Detroit Diesel Allison (DDA) prepared a new engine design to enter the United States Army's Modern Technology Demonstrator Engine (MTDE) competition, which was expected to be developed into the powerplant for the United States Navy's JVX experimental tiltrotor aircraft program (which would eventually become the Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey). == Design ==
Design
On the V-22, the T406 engines are housed in wing-tip tilting nacelles, allowing the distinctive flight characteristics of the V-22. For takeoff and landing the nacelles are directed vertically (90° to fuselage), while for forward flight they are rotated parallel to fuselage. The engine has been considered as a cost-effective upgrade for existing heavylift helicopters such as the CH-47 Chinook and the CH-53. == Applications ==
