Teledyne Turbine Engines (TTE) is a manufacturer specializing in turbine engines, headquartered in Toledo, Ohio. As a branch of Teledyne Technologies Inc., TTE originated from the earlier entity known as Teledyne CAE.
History
The inception of Continental Aviation and Engineering (CAE) dates back to 1940 when Continental Motors Corporation initiated it to focus on aircraft engines exceeding 500 hp. Although CAE embarked on turbine engine projects during the 1940s, none advanced to commercial production.
During the period spanning the 1950s through the 1970s, CAE manufactured a licensed variant of the Turbomeca Marboré, marketed as the Teledyne CAE J69.
In 1969, Teledyne Incorporated took over Continental Motors Corporation, which was subsequently renamed Teledyne Continental Motors (TCM). Concurrently, CAE was rebranded as Teledyne CAE, with its main office located in Toledo.
After the 1999 divestiture of Teledyne Ryan Aeronautical to Northrop Grumman and the separation of Teledyne Technologies Inc. from Allegheny Teledyne, Teledyne CAE adopted the name Teledyne Turbine Engines. It also operated under the name TCM Turbine Engines as part of Teledyne Continental Motors.
