It is powered by two 2,336 kW (3,133 shp) General Electric CT64-820-4 turboprop engines. Production of the Buffalo had ended with the DHC-5A in 1972 and restarted with the DHC-5D in 1974; the variant sold to several overseas air forces, beginning with Egypt, and production of the DHC-5D ended in December 1986.
