General aviation turbogenerator TG600

for light aircraft

Short description
The TG600 turbogenerator is a hybrid propulsion power unit that provides 600 kW of electrical power for hybrid‑electric aircraft applications.

Overview
A turbogenerator combines a gas turbine with one or more electric generators and a power and voltage regulation system. The TG600 development is based on Safran Helicopter Engines' Arrano engine and integrates GENeUS electric generators supplied by Safran Electrical & Power.

Components

• Gas turbine (Arrano‑based)
• Two GENeUS electric generators (TG600 configuration)
• Electrical power and voltage regulation system

Technology & performance
The TG600 delivers 600 kW electrical output. The Arrano basis offers approximately an 18% reduction in fuel consumption compared with previous‑generation engines.

Applications

• Designed for eSTOL and eVTOL mobility and other hybrid‑electric aircraft
• Developed for integration on platforms such as Electra EL9 and Aura Aero ERA

Manufacturer and partners
Manufacturer: Safran Helicopter Engines. Electric generators supplied by Safran Electrical & Power. Development partners and customers include Electra and Aura Aero.
