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.[1]
