I would have suspected that the French would have decided to use a Safran engine like the Ardiden but that engine and stacks in the news media pictures, from the Paris Airshow, look suspiciously like a PT-6 with an MT prop on the front.

The Ardiden engine Wiki mentioned the EuroMALE drone collaboration but I still think that is P&W power up front. There is no mention of Rolls Royce in the media coverage.

Does anyone know?

With a little more searching…

It is a 1,200HP PT-6 with future plans to use a Safran Ardiden 3 or GE Aviation Catalyst according to an article on TheDrive’s TheWarzone website.

…and definitely pulled by a gorgeous MT prop based upon the pictures.
