The LHTEC T800 turboshaft engine is part of the newest generation of highly advanced gas turbine engines, integrating the newest technology and thinking along with new materials to bring unseen levels of power, reliability, and fuel economy in a light, compact, and easy to maintain package.
LHTEC, which stands for Light Helicopter Turbine Engine Company, was put together as a partnership between Rolls-Royce and Honeywell International, with the intention of developing a state of the art turboshaft engine for military and commercial helicopters.
Because the T800 is a very new engine, not very much information is readily available on it, but from what can be found, the T800 is a free shaft turbine engine with a two stage compressor driven by a two stage turbine, and the load is driven by a two stage free power turbine.

Forecast Rationale In the electric power generation arena, the LHTEC T800 (provisionally designated GT800 by Forecast International) is projected to eventually garner acceptance as a prime power source for standby land-based installations, as well as for continuous duty.
With a few nations and airframe manufacturers considering the aero T800 for their rotary-winged aircraft — apart from India, which has chosen the CTS800 for its ALH — LHTEC should be able to offer financially-attractive packages involving both T800 aero engines and T800 industrial power units/packages.
In the marine propulsion marketplace, the T800 (provisionally designated MT800) engine has already been marinized, and could be ready in the late 1990s for vessels whose designs are presently being formulated by the world's shipbuilders.

More specifically, issues were raised regarding T800 delivery schedules and costs, the future of the LHX program and its impact on the T800, and the scope and value to the Coast Guard of the Phase 1 Proof of Concept.
LHTEC's proposal for Phase 1 was received by AVSCOM on November 22, 1989; negotiations are underway, and it is expected that a letter contract for the first six months of effort will be executed in January 1990, with a full contract to follow within 120 days.
T800 re-engining costs (about $145 million in discounted 1989 dollars) are not very sensitive to the schedule, and are significantly higher (by about $32-74 million) than either LTS 101 option.
