The Pratt & Whitney T73 (company designation JFTD12) is a turboshaft engine. Based on the JT12A, the T73 powered the Sikorsky CH-54 Tarhe and its civil counterpart Sikorsky S-64 Skycrane flying crane heavy-lift helicopters. Turboshaft versions for naval use are known as the FT12, and have been used on the Iroquois-class destroyer.
