TECHNOLOGY FOCUS

P&W is focused on the following key technology areas:

  • Structural & Smart Materials & Structural Mechanics
  • Sensor Systems
  • Noise Reduction
  • Signature Related Materials
  • Propulsion & Power Plants
  • Manufacturing Processes/Design Tools/Techniques
  • Energy Storage

Our broad range of technology projects is aimed at enhancing gas turbine fuel efficiency through advanced system architecture, improved component performance and light weight, high strength materials while implementing the lowest cost manufacturing solutions. Below is an innovation that Pratt & Whitney is pursuing right now.

  • PurePower® Engine Family
  • Power people depend on

Pratt & Whitney is setting a new standard of engine performance with the flight-proven PurePower® engine family. This disruptive technology uses an advanced gear system allowing the engine’s fan to operate at a different speed than the low-pressure compressor and turbine. The combination of the gear system and an all-new advanced core deliver double-digit improvements in fuel efficiency, environmental emissions and noise.

The PurePower engine has been selected as exclusive power for the Bombardier* CSeries* aircraft and Mitsubishi Regional Jet. It will also power the first Airbus A320neo aircraft, as well as the Irkut MC-21 narrow-body jet.

* Trademarks of Bombardier Inc. or its subsidiaries.
