Where can I sell a helicopter turbine engine?
List your Rolls-Royce M250, Safran Arriel, P&WC PT6T, Honeywell HTS900 or other turbine on ChopperSwap. Free first listing, dedicated engine buyers, and TSN/TSO/MPI fields built into the wizard.
Turbine engines are the highest-value spare in any helicopter operation. Buyers want hours since new, hours since overhaul, cycles, last MPI date, oil analysis, borescope report, ECU/FADEC status, and ideally a recent test cell run.
ChopperSwap is the only marketplace built around those fields specifically for helicopter turbines. Your listing is found by operators searching for exact replacements as well as MROs sourcing trade-in cores.

Frequently asked questions
Can I sell a run-out engine for core value?
Yes — flag it as "core / for overhaul" and MROs and parts dealers will inquire.
Is it free to list an engine?
Your first engine listing is free; premium placement is a one-time $29.
Do I need the 8130-3 to list?
No, but the listing will fetch a noticeably higher price with traceability documents attached.
Will buyers want a borescope?
For run-time engines, almost always. Upload it to the document vault — you control who sees it.
Can I include the engine with an airframe sale?
Yes — list the helicopter as a complete aircraft; the engine spec is captured inside that listing.
