LOWER COSTS AND THE BEST ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE
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.
16 PER CENT LEANER.
The PurePower PW1000G engine family improves fuel burn by more than 16 per cent versus today’s engines from regional jets to mainline single-aisle aircraft. That alone could save airlines nearly $10,00,000 per aircraft per year.
50 PER CENT CLEANER.
75 PER CENT QUIETER.
$15,00,000 LIGHTER…ON YOUR BOTTOM LINE.
AWARD-WINNING PERFORMANCE.
In 2011, Time magazine named the PurePower engine as one of its 50 best inventions, describing it as "the most important development in aviation in 2011.”
In 2010, a team of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Aurora Flight Sciences and Pratt & Whitney engineers received Popular Mechanics magazine’s Breakthrough Innovator Award for designing a greener aircraft of the future using the PurePower geared turbofan engine technology.
Pratt & Whitney’s PurePower engine family also received the 2009 Popular Science magazine Best’s of What’s New award as the Top Aviation Technology, and the 2009 Aviation Week Laureate Award for outstanding achievement in Aeronautics and Propulsion. Also in 2009, the PurePower development team was one of the Flight Global Innovator of the Year finalists. In 2008, the engine received the Technology Breakthrough Award from the China Aviation Association and AVIC Science and Technology Department.
7,00,000
GREENER.
The PurePower PW1000G engine cuts carbon emissions by 3,000 tonnes per aircraft per year. That’s equal to the effect of planting more than 7,00,000 trees. With carbon trading on the horizon, one PW1000G-powered aircraft could save operators additional tens of thousands of dollars annually. PurePower technology has successfully been tested with alternative fuel, so it will be ready to power aircraft well into the 21st century.
Pratt & Whitney’s TALON X combustor slashes polluting emissions. The PurePower PW1000G engine family will surpass the most stringent standards (CAEP/6) by 50 per cent for nitrous oxide (NOx).
The PurePower PW1000G engine reduces aircraft noise footprints by up to 75 per cent. Operating 15 to 20dB below today’s most stringent standard (ICAO Stage 4) brings a competitive advantage for operators: Savings from lower noise fees Increased operations within curfews Optimised flight tracks through preferred runway access
That’s how much operators could save, per aircraft per year, versus today’s best airplanes, because the PW1000G engine family addresses the whole picture—fuel, emissions, noise and maintenance—to give operators the lowest possible cash operating cost.
