PW800

PW800: Powering long-haul business jets

Part of Pratt & Whitney’s innovative PurePower® family, the PW800 demonstrates significantly improved fuel efficiency, emission levels, and operating costs. Designed to power long-haul business jets, regional aircraft, and narrowbodies, these engines are characterized by their advanced materials, design methods, and aerodynamics. Among the key components are an efficient fan, a compressor, a turbine, and the low-emission TALON™ combustor, which together ensure a marked reduction in fuel consumption and minimal environmental impact. The PW800 also harnesses the core technology of the Pratt & Whitney GTF™ engine family.

MTU’s involvement in the PW800

With its expertise in high-pressure compressors and low-pressure turbines, MTU is instrumental in the success of the PW800.

Facts
