The engines, designated PW535E1, are rated at 3,478 lbf (15.47 kN)/ [4] Unveiled at the May 2023 EBACE show, the FADEC-controlled PW545D is developed for the Cessna 560XL Ascend variant, to be rated at 4,200 lbf (19 kN) and optimized for improved fuel burn and longer time between overhauls (TBO) up to 6,000 hours.

In 1952, the production of Wasp engines was transferred to Canadian Pratt & Whitney so P&W could concentrate on developing jet engines. [4] In the late 1950s, a team of 12 Canadian Pratt & Whitney engineers began the development of the first small turbine engine in Canada, the PT6. The first example was delivered to a customer in 1963.
The family of engines generates 15,000 to 34,000 lbf (67 to 151 kN) of thrust, it uses gearboxes rated between 16,000 hp (12,000 kW) and 32,000 hp (24,000 kW). [39] By putting a 3:1 gearbox between the fan and the low-pressure spool, each spins at its optimal speed: 4,000–5,000 RPM for the fan and 12,000–15,000 RPM for the spool, the high ...
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.
Became Bristol Aero Engines in 1956. Merged with Armstrong Siddeley in 1958 to form Bristol Siddeley. Sources: Piston engines, Lumsden, [3] gas turbine and rocket engines, Gunston. [14] Bristol Pegasus radial
Pratt & Whitney and General Electric were selected to make prototype engines, designated YF119 and YF120 respectively, for demonstration and validation (Dem/Val). Both engine makers would provide engines for both the Lockheed/Boeing/General Dynamics YF-22 and the Northrop/McDonnell Douglas YF-23 ATF technology and flight demonstrators. The ATF ...
