Developed by Allison Engine Company, now part of Rolls-Royce North America, the AE 2100 is a turboprop derivative of the Allison T406 (Rolls-Royce AE 1107C-Liberty) turboshaft engine, and shares the same high-pressure core as the engine, as does the Rolls-Royce AE 3007. The Allison Engine Company was a US Aircraft engine manufacturer which was acquired by Rolls-Royce plc in 1995 to become a subsidiary Rolls-Royce Corporation Rolls-Royce North America is a subsidiary of Rolls-Royce plc involved principally in the manufacture of gas turbine engines and other propulsion systems A turboprop engine is a type of aircraft powerplant that uses a Gas turbine engine to drive a Propeller.
