The TPE331, with the military designation T76, is a single-shaft turboprop engine with an integral gearbox. Garrett AiResearch began developing it in 1959 for the military, and it has been produced since 1999 by its successor, Honeywell Aerospace. The design originated in 1961 as a gas turbine to power helicopters, first went into production in 1963 and was installed on the Aero Commander in 1964, entering production on the Aero Commander Turbo Commander in June 1965. Power output ranges from 575 to 1,650 shaft horsepower. It uses a two-stage centrifugal compressor, a reverse annular combustor and a three-stage axial turbine, and it is listed as burning Jet A, Jet B, Jet A-1 and several military jet fuels.
