How much shaft horsepower is the T-6 engine flat rated to produce?

The T-6 engine, specifically the PT6A variant commonly used in training aircraft, is flat rated to produce 1,100 shaft horsepower. Flat rating refers to maintaining constant engine output across a range of conditions, enabling consistent performance regardless of environmental factors like altitude and temperature. This level of horsepower provides the necessary balance of power and efficiency required for training operations, making the T-6 an effective platform for pilot training. Such a rating allows the aircraft to operate efficiently during various maneuvers while ensuring safety and reliability for the trainees.
