The General Electric GE T58<\/strong> is an American turboshaft engine developed for helicopter use. First run in 1955, it remained in production until 1984<\/strong>, by which time some 6,300 units had been built. On July 1, 1959, it became the first turbine engine to gain FAA certification for civil helicopter use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

After being converted to a turbojet, this engine is capable of producing up to 840 pounds of thrusts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this configuration, the engine weighs just 300 pounds<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
