The MTR390 is a turboshaft developed for light helicopter applications by an alliance of three European aero-engine manufacturers, MTU, Turbomeca and Rolls-Royce.
MTR's engine is designed to power helicopters in the weight range of 5-7 tonnes in both single and twin engine configurations. So far the only application is the Eurocopter Tiger. Initial test runs of the MTR390 began in 1989 and the first test flight was performed in 1991. The MTR390 received military certification in May 1996 and civil approval in June 1997.
