The General Electric T901-GE-900 Improved Turbine Engine (ITE) finished First Engine to Test (FETT) requirements on 28 June, the US Army said on 7 July.

The army had announced on 23 March that it conducted the first ‘light-off' off General Electric's T901 FETT, meaning power was produced by igniting fuel in the engine. That kicked off over 100 flight hours as part of testing procedures.

More testing is ahead for the engine.

Preliminary Flight Rating testing will start in the fourth quarter and will continue through 2023. Eight T901 engines will be tested to satisfy Army Military Airworthiness Certification Criteria (AMACC) standards by undergoing 1,500 engine test hours to meet “design, production, and continuing airworthiness”. The army said in total the engine will perform 5,000 hours of testing before full engine qualification.
