Lycoming T53


The Lycoming T53, is a turboshaft engine used on helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft since the 1950s. It was designed at the Lycoming Turbine Engine Division in Stratford Army [Engine Plant|Stratford, Connecticut], by a team headed by Anselm Franz, who was the chief designer of the Junkers Jumo 004 during World War II.
A much larger engine, similar in overall design, became the Lycoming T55 produced by Honeywell Aerospace. The T53 model is produced by Ozark Aeroworks LLC.
