Pratt & Whitney and Collins Aerospace intend to enter the market for electric propulsion systems for Urban Air Mobility (UAM) vehicles. The two companies, both part of Raytheon, have launched a technology demonstrator project for a 1 MW electric motor, they…
Embraer and Pratt & Whitney have successfully completed a 70-minutes flight test with 100-percent sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) on one of the PW-1900G engines. P&W GTF completes pure SAF test on Embraer E195-E2. After two days of ground runs, the…
German start-up Deutsche Aircraft has upgraded its engine selection from the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW127S to the new PW127XT-S turboprop to power its D328eco regional airliner. DA also has deepened its collaboration with the engine maker to include next-generation technologies,…
Pratt & Whitney has been selected by NASA to participate in the Sustainable Flight National Partnership (FSNP) program. The OEM will develop advanced high-pressure turbine technologies for use in the next generation of single-aisle commercial aircraft. P&W joins NASA’s efficient engine…
As the commercial aviation industry increasingly embraces “green” issues including, for example, SAF, it is useful to consider another feature that is much more noticeable to people – noise. So which is the quietest aircraft? The latest generation of aircraft,…
The performance of the aviation supply chain has not been as robust as it should be in 2018, with airplanes on the ground with no engines in Toulouse, Renton, and even Charleston being the symptoms of some deeper issues. Those…
