TP 400-D6

Purpose-designed for the Airbus Military A400M transport aircraft, the TP400-D6 is the most powerful turboprop ever developed in the West.

The Airbus Military A400M airlifter will be powered by the TP400-D6 turboprop engine, offered by European engine-makers operating through the Europrop International GmbH consortium (EPI). Within this partnership, Snecma (Safran group) is in charge of the combustor, the high-pressure turbine and installation of the engine on the aircraft. Snecma is also responsible for the control system, which has an electronic control unit from Sagem. Other Group companies contributing to this program are Hispano-Suiza, for the gearbox, and Techspace Aero, for the lubrication system.
