T51 The T51-powered Bell 201/XH-13F in a hover Type Turboshaft National origin United States Manufacturer Continental Aviation and Engineering Developed from Turbomeca Artouste 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.[2]
