This chapter introduces rotorcraft engines. the discussion is largely limited to gas turbine engines that dominate the field of modern helicopters. The Chapter is split into four main parts: (1) rotorcraft power plants and power trains; (2) engine ratings (with certification requirements); (3) performance envelopes; (4) intake protection systems. Rotorcraft engines are seldom treated as part of core rotorcraft engineering, since they are considered an element of propulsion; thus, they are associated to a different discipline. In this Chapter we demonstrate that there are peculiarities in this type of engines. Their integration into the airframe via transmission systems, rotor head, intake separators is unlike any fixed-wing vehicle.
