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.
In 1979 Pratt & Whitney launched its PW2000 engine, claiming 8% better fuel efficiency than the -535C for the PW2037 version. Boeing put Rolls-Royce under pressure to supply a more competitive engine for the 757, and using the more advanced -524 core as a basis, the company produced the 40,100 lbf (178,000 N) thrust RB211-535E4 which entered ...
[133] [134] The first engine to power the 757-200, the Rolls-Royce RB211-535C, was succeeded by the upgraded RB211-535E4 in October 1984. [135] Other engines used include the Rolls-Royce RB211-535E4B, along with the Pratt & Whitney PW2037 and Pratt & Whitney PW2000-37/40/43.

PW205B First run 1987. Flown in twin-engine MBB BO105 for demonstration only. [2]PW206A Maximum continuous power 550 shp (410 kW) [3] for use on the MD Explorer PW206B Maximum continuous power 431 shp (321 kW), [3] for use on the Eurocopter EC135
The engine is used on the A220, A320neo family, Embraer E-Jet E2 and the Russian Yakovlev MC-21 (although exports were stopped as part of the international sanctions during the Russian invasion of Ukraine). The Pratt & Whitney PW1000G engine family initially garnered significant interest from airlines due to its touted fuel efficiency advantages.
IAE International Aero Engines AG is a Zürich-registered joint venture aeroengine manufacturing company.. It was founded during 1983 specifically to develop an aircraft engine to address the 150-seat single aisle aircraft market, the V2500 turbofan.
