What is the Type of Engine?

• A. T700-GE-710D front drive turbo shaft engine
• B. T700-GE-701C turboshaft engine
• C. T700-GE-710D straight-turbine engine
• D. T700-GE-600 Series turbo shaft

Answer: (A)

The helicopter uses a turboshaft engine to drive the rotor, and the correct designation for that configuration is the T700-GE-710D front-drive turboshaft engine. The “front-drive” part specifies how the engine’s power is delivered to the main gearbox, which is a defining setup for this helicopter. The other descriptions either describe different architectures (like straight-turbine) or other variants in the T700 family that don’t match the UH-60S’s front-drive arrangement, so they’re not the correct engine type for this context.
