Lower Costs and the Best Environmental Performance

Issue: 4 / 2012

Pratt & Whitney’s PurePower engine family offers game changing performance, doubledigit improvements in fuel burn, environmental emissions, engine noise and operating costs for new generation intercontinental business jets and commercial aircraft

The award-winning PurePower engine family from Pratt & Whitney reduces fuel consumption, noise and environmental emissions— factors that improve flight paths, cut emission tariffs and reduce flight time.

The PurePower engine family includes the 10,000 to 20,000-pound thrust class advanced turbofan engine—designated the PurePower PW800 for large, long-range business jets. The PW800 is a new centre line engine with game-changing technologies to deliver double-digit improvements in fuel consumption, environmental emissions, engine noise and maintenance times.

This engine family raises the bar on performance and economics by taking advantage of the latest material, aerodynamic and design technologies. The engine incorporates advanced fan, compressor, turbine and low-emissions TALON combustion systems for exceptional fuel consumption, future thrust-growth capability and improved environmental performance.

The PW800 turbofan engine will have up to 10 per cent improvements in fuel burn, environmental emissions up to 50 per cent below CAEP/6 standards, double-digit EPNdB margin to Stage 4 noise requirements, and double-digit improvements in maintenance times.

This new-generation engine family also comes equipped with Pratt & Whitney diagnostics capability for proactive maintenance and longer time on wing.

PurePower Geared Turbofan engine family

The PurePower PW1000G geared turbofan engine combines nextgeneration aircraft technologies to deliver the best environmental benefits, fuel burn and lower life-cycle costs to commercial operators of single-aisle aircraft.

The PurePower PW1000G engine family is the exclusive power plant for the Mitsubishi Regional Jet MRJ at 15,000 to 17,000 pounds of thrust and the Bombardier CSeries aircraft family at 19,000 to 24,000 pounds of thrust. It will also be the first engine to enter service on the Airbus A320neo aircraft, as well as the Irkut MC-21 narrow-body jet.
