Rolls-Royce AE 2100
Developed by Allison Engine Company, now part of Rolls-Royce North America, the AE 2100 is a turboprop derivative of the T406 (AE 1007) turboshaft engine. The engine is a two-shaft design and is the first to use dual FADECs (full authority digital engine control) to control both engine and propeller.

- Military transports
- Long-range maritime patrol aircraft.
The engine uses new six-bladed Dowty propellers for use on the 50-seat Saab 2000 and the Lockheed C-130J Hercules military transport.
