The company's first major product was an oil cooler for military aircraft. Garrett designed and produced oil coolers for the Douglas DB-7. [9] Boeing's B-17 bombers, credited with substantially tipping the air war in America's and Great Britain's favor over Europe and the Pacific, were outfitted with Garrett intercoolers, as was the B-25.

By the 1960s Garrett AiResearch controlled a substantial portion of the APU turbine market, which wasn't expected to grow. Speer pushed Garrett to take on larger incumbents in the general engine propulsion market, but didn't get approval to "boot-strap" the development of the turboprop 331 engine until 1962.
Garrett AiResearch designed the TPE331 from scratch in 1959 for the military. [5] “Designed as a 575-horsepower engine it was not a scaled-down version of a larger engine, as competitors were offering.” [6] The TPE331 originated in 1961 as a gas turbine (the "331") to power helicopters. [6] It first went into production in 1963. [7]
The Garrett ATF3 (US military designation F104) is a 3-spool turbofan engine developed at the California division of Garrett AiResearch. Due to mergers it is currently supported by Honeywell Aerospace. The engine's design is unusual; the core flow path is reversed twice.
It was initially developed by Garrett AiResearch, for use as an APU for McDonnell Douglas DC-10. [1] Garrett was merged into AlliedSignal in 1985, then into Honeywell in 1999. Honeywell still provide support for the TSCP700's in circulation. Besides the DC-10, it is also used as APU on the MD-11 and Airbus A300/A310. [2]
The Garrett TFE731 (now Honeywell TFE731) is a family of geared turbofan engines commonly used on business jet aircraft. Garrett AiResearch originally designed and built the engine, which due to mergers was later produced by AlliedSignal and now Honeywell Aerospace .
Garrett Motion Inc., formerly Honeywell Transportation Systems and Honeywell Turbo Technologies, is an American company primarily involved in engineering, development and manufacturing of turbochargers and related forced induction systems for ground vehicles from small passenger cars to large trucks and industrial equipment and construction machinery.
The Garrett F109 (Company designation TFE109) was a small turbofan engine developed for the Fairchild T-46 by Garrett AiResearch. With the United States Air Force 's cancellation of the T-46 program in 1986, further development of the engine ceased, and with it the civil TFE109 version.
