MTU Aero Engines which manufactures and repairs commercial and military engines is applying technology from Europe's CLEAN environmental aero-engine research programme to Pratt & Whitney's geared ...

Pratt & Whitney’s PurePower PW1000G engine family has a gear system separating the engine fan from the low-pressure compressor and turbine, allowing each of the modules to operate at optimal speeds.

When Pratt & Whitney introduced the GTF in 2016, it broke a long-standing rule in jet design. Traditionally, the massive front fan and the rear low-pressure turbine were rigidly linked, forcing them ...

The PW1000G engine design features an engine fan separated from the low-pressure compressor and turbine, so that each module operates at optimal speeds. The result is lower engine weight and greater ...

Pratt & Whitney engineers are already procuring test equipment for the manufacturer's 2025-targeted next-generation geared turbofan - an engine that must be 15% more fuel efficient than this decade's ...

A turbofan engine uses what is called the Brayton cycle, a process similar to a super-powered air pump and heater. The process starts with the front fan that draws in a lot of air. Around 80% of that ...

MTU Aero has delivered the first Pratt & Whitney PurePower PW1100G-JM Geared Turbofan engine assembled on its own final assembly line to Airbus. The new assembly line for the A320neo engine was ...

The Federal Aviation Administration certified Pratt & Whitney's PurePower PW1400G-JM geared-turbofan engine to power the Irkut MC-21 jet, meaning three variants of the PurePower GTF have been cleared ...
