Soloy has received the 100th LTS101 turboshaft from Honeywell for the Olympia, Wash. company’s Eurocopter AS 350 engine conversion program. Soloy Aviation Solutions and Honeywell inked a pact for AStar AS 350BA and AS 350B2 re-
engining in 2004.

Honeywell has been delivering the 650-shp LTS101-600A-3A for the AS 350BA retrofit, and the -700D-2 for the AS 350B2. The latter, Honeywell’s latest and most powerful LTS101 engine model, delivers 732 takeoff shp, a 14-percent increase at sea level compared with the -600A-3A, through introduction of a new gas-producer (GP) turbine assembly.
