The engine is an unlicensed copy of the French Microturbo TRI 60 engine and is used in Noor anti-ship cruise missiles as well as UAVs.[1][2] It is a three-stage axial design with a length of 1.3m that can produce 3.7 kN of thrust at 29,500 RPM and weights 54.7 kg.[3] A throttleable and more durable version named Toloue-5 is also in development.[4]
