Last year, CAIGA selected GE's H85 turboprop engine to power CAIGA's five-seat, light single-engine pressurized turboprop business aircraft with a carbon fiber composite airframe. It is one of the fastest pressurized single-engine turboprop aircraft in its class.

The H80 turboprop engine family incorporates GE's 3-D aerodynamic design techniques and advanced materials to create a powerful, fuel-efficient, durable engine with no recurrent fuel nozzle inspections and no hot section inspection.

The H80 engine features a service life of 3,600 flight-hours or 6,600 cycles between overhauls.
