Cleared for Takeoff: T901’s Historic Run to PFR

To power this next-generation warfighter, the Army launched the Improved Turbine Engine Program (ITEP). The mission was a formidable engineering challenge: deliver a staggering 3,000 shaft-horsepower engine - a 50 percent increase - while fitting seamlessly into the exact physical footprint as the current T700 engine.
