According to GE Aerospace, Poland chose CT7-2E1 turboshaft engines to drive its fleet of 32 Leonardo AW149 helicopters. Thus, the machines intended for the Air Cavalry became, next to the AW101 and S-70i Black Hawk, another kind of fresh machines in the Polish Army powered by engines of the CT7/T700 family. It is worth noting that Apache Guardian AH-64E machines are powered by engines belonging to the same family.
