P&WC’s PT6C-67C engine that powers Leonardo’s AW139


ROTOR PRO: WHERE DOES PRATT & WHITNEY CANADA STAND IN TERMS OF ITS TOTAL HELICOPTER ENGINE PORTFOLIO?


Nico Chabée: This year, P&WC is celebrating two major milestones: reaching 1 billion hours of flight across its engine fleet and 60 years of the PT6 excellence. The PT6 is unmatched in engine performance, reliability, and dispatch availability, and has reached 500 million flying hours, which accounts for half of the one-billion milestone.


With more than 64,000 PT6 engines produced since its introduction in 1963, it powers over 155 different aviation applications.


The PT6 engine remains at the forefront of the aviation landscape, bringing breakthrough achievements in performance, control systems and data intelligence. Today’s PT6 is up to four times more powerful, has a 50% better power-to-weight ratio, and provides up to 20% better specific fuel consumption compared to the original engine. Each new model is developed and designed with a specific mission, platform and customer in mind, while pursuing a reduced environmental footprint.


The PT6 engine’s relentless technological evolution has never been more apparent than in recent years. The latest engine family, the PT6 E-Series™, is the first with a dual-channel integrated electronic propeller and engine control system in general aviation.


The PT6 is also the only turboprop engine in the world to be approved for single-engine instrument flight rules (SEIFR) in commercial passenger flights in Europe, North America, New Zealand, and Australia.
