Honeywell announced this week that it has started testing on its next-generation T55-GA-714C engine for Chinook helicopters as part of a cooperative research and development agreement (CRADA) with the U.S. Army. According to Honeywell, the CRADA program and test campaign will take place over a two-year period to “validate the benefits and ease of integration of the new engine variant onto the Chinook platform.” Initial testing of the T55-GA-714C took place at Honeywell’s facilities in Phoenix, Arizona.
