Most Powerful RTM322 Achieves Certification

The most powerful version of the RTM322 turboshaft engine to date has received its Civil Type Certificate from the European Aviation Safety Agency, Rolls-Royce Turbomeca (RRTM) said today. It has been tailored specifically to operate in the NH90 helicopter in arduous ‘hot and high’ conditions. The ‘Step 0’ engine has a 30-minute take-off rating of 2.580shp and has a seven per cent power increase over the RTM322-01/9 variant. It has been selected by the Royal Air Force of Oman to power its fleet of 20 twin-engined NH90 helicopters and engine deliveries to the helicopter's final assembly line at Eurocopter are already underway.
