The specific goals of the "Improved Turbine Engine Project" ITEP are to increase the engine's power by 50%, improve fuel efficiency by 25%, reduce life cycle costs, and improve the performance and economy of active main models. After the replacement of the engine, the "Black Hawk" can carry a full 11-man infantry squad in an environment of 1829 meters and 35 degrees Celsius, increasing the range by 30% and the load by 50%. The "Apache" patrol time can be increased by 50% and the payload can be increased by 1500 kg. According to General Electric's test, the performance of the T901 engine has even exceeded the requirements of the ITEP project.
