Hispano-Suiza

The triple-spool TP400 turboprop engine is produced by the European consortium Europrop International (EPI).

Snecma, a lead partner in EPI, calls on the expertise of  Hispano-Suiza, which supplies the power transmission for the TP400, the most powerful turboprop in the West at 11,600 shaft horsepower.

This transmission used composite materials to help decrease engine weight. It also features major innovations as part of its compact, modular architecture, including an integrated transfer gearbox and accessory drive. The gearbox for the core is attached directly near the center of the engine
