The Walter M601 is a two-shaft turboprop engine with a takeoff power of 734 hp with a reverse-flow gas-air path. The power plant consists of two main components: the gas generator and the drive unit.
The gas generator includes two axial and one centrifugal compressor stages, an annular combustion chamber, and a single-stage axial turbine.
The drive section of the power plant consists of a single-stage free turbine in the output system and a two-stage gearbox, which incorporates the torque meter and the propeller shaft.
The power plant is used in general-purpose aircraft.
