Continental T51

The Continental CAE T51 was a small turboshaft engine produced by Continental Aviation and Engineering (CAE) under license from Turbomeca.

A development of the Artouste, it was followed by three additional turboshaft engines, the T72, the T65, and the T67.

[1] However, none of these engines, including the T51, entered full production.

CAE abandoned turboshaft development in 1967 after the XT67 lost to the Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6T (T400) to power the Bell UH-1N Twin Huey.
