Our company has been in the business of engine modifications for over 30 years. Our team is excited to be aiming squarely at replacing the historic AI-25 turbofan.
Still used by military operators world wide, the AI-25 design comes from the 60’s era design of Ivchenko.
Our goal is to replace the engine with an engine platform that will be sustainable into the future. We’ve chosen the Honeywell TFE731-3, as many others have, for its availability, serviceability, and increased efficiency in many different areas of flight.
The TFE731 is also a twin-shaft jet engine with a gear reduced turbofan. The performance benefits include faster spool times, fuel efficiency, thrust at higher altitudes, and reduced weight.
