The PW1500G variant, designed for the Airbus A220, became the first certified engine in 2013. The program cost is estimated at $10 billion. Unlike traditional turbofan engines where a single shaft connects all components, forcing them to operate at the same speed, the PW1000G has a gearbox between the fan and the low-pressure core. This allows ...
At that time, the PW1500G was the turbofan engine with the highest bypass ratio (BPR) of 12:1, [208] only slightly lower than the 12.5:1 BPR of the later released PW1100G powering the A320neo family. [209] Each engine can produce 84.5 to 104 kN (19,000 to 23,300 lbf) of thrust flat rated at ISA +15°C. [208]
The Pratt & Whitney Canada PW800 is a series of turbofan engines in the 10,000–20,000 lbf (44–89 kN) thrust class, manufactured by Pratt & Whitney Canada.Intended for the regional jet and business jet market, the gear-less PW800 shares a common core with the larger, geared PW1000G.
This category lists multi-engine passenger airline accidents involving loss of all engines in flight and subsequent gliding flight. Causes of these rare situations have included fuel exhaustion or starvation, multiple bird strikes, volcanic ash, extreme weather and hijacking.
An engine failure due to a previously unknown fault pattern was flagged during initial investigations. [1] The left engine's main shaft was found fractured. [5] The crew's protective breathing equipment (PBE) was also under investigation. Because of handling and performance issues Swiss had started a replacement programme in October 2023 which ...

In December 1980, Pratt & Whitney changed to a new naming system for its engines and the JT10D became the PW2037. The PW2000 is a dual-spool, axial air flow, annular combustion, high bypass turbofan with a dual-channel full authority digital engine control system. It was certified in 1984 as the first civilian FADEC-controlled aviation engine.
