The AEP500's 5,000 kW equivalent power is similar to the Dash 8 Q400's 4,600 kW Pratt & Whitney Canada PW150, to propel a 74-100 seats airliner at Mach 0.6 and FL300-330. It has a three-shaft layout for compactness and performance retention, the low-pressure compressor has four axial stages while the high-pressure compressor has one axial and one centrifugal stage, both driven by single stages turbines. A demonstrator without the three stage power turbine should be ran in 2022/2023, a technology demonstrator in 2025, and certification is targeted for 2035 Takeoff BSFC should be below 260 g/kW/h. The 5,000-kW WJ-10 was intended for the Y-19 airlifter and may be introduced in the 2020s. A 5,000-kW engine could power a MTOW airlifter but more for higher performance like the Airbus A400M.
