RTM-322
The RTM-322 has established itself as the European helicopter engine of choice, powering the following,Adour
To power the Anglo-French SEPECAT Jaguar, the appropriately Anglo-French Adour was developed by Rolls-Royce Turbomeca.- Adour 106 - Intended for use with the Jaguar to replace the current Mk104 engine. The Mk106 combines the latest technology of the non-afterburning Adour 871, with a reheat section to improve overall performance. The RAF has refitted its fleet with this engine as part of the GR3 upgrade. The Indian Air Force is also to equip its fleet with the engine.
- Adour 900/951 - Designed for the latest versions of the BAE Hawk, this version was launched in response to customer requirements and features improved performance relative to the current Mk871, with up to twice the service life. The Adour 900 is a more fundamental redesign than the Adour Mk106. The recent export success of the Hawk in South Africa and India are driving the project.
