Swarm Aero selects Honeywell TPE331 engines for Group 5 UAS
Swarm Aero selected Honeywell TPE331 turboprop engines for its Group 5 uncrewed aircraft, with initial propulsion systems already supplied.
Evidence notes
- Swarm selected the commercially available Honeywell TPE331 as the powerplant for its large, multi-mission Group 5 uncrewed aircraft.
- Initial propulsion systems had already been supplied under the contract, and the companies were working together on aircraft design, development, maintenance and operations.
- Honeywell reported 13,000 TPE331 engines delivered and 122 million flight hours; Swarm is using the established platform to reduce cost and production risk.
