With more than 13,000 large commercial engines installed today, Pratt & Whitney provides dependable power to hundreds of airlines and operators every day.
Revolutionary Performance Advancements
Our innovations in powerplant design continue to set the pace for progress in aviation. Our technologies have made aviation ever-more sustainable, changed the boundaries of time and shortened the distance between people and places. We launched the wide-body age with the JT9D and the narrow-body age with the JT8D, lowered fuel consumption with the PW2000 and V2500, and introduced the world to ultra-efficient aviation with the geared fan. Along the way we have logged more than a billion hours of flight, and we have transported millions of parcels and passengers around the world.
Pratt & Whitney GTF™ Engine
The GTF engine is the only modern geared propulsion system in commercial service today, and the foundation for increasing the effectiveness of more sustainable technologies. With more than 23 million recorded flight hours and a roadmap of innovations ahead, the reliable path to sustainable growth is here.
V2500™
The V2500 engine is designed and manufactured by International Aero Engines, a global partnership of aerospace leaders including Pratt & Whitney, Japanese Aero Engine Corporation and MTU Aero Engines.
GP7200
The GP7200 is derived from two of the most successful wide body engine programs in aviation history.
PW4000-94
The PW4000 94-inch fan engine is the first model in the PW4000 family of high-thrust engines.
PW4000-100
Pratt & Whitney has taken its successful PW4000 100-inch engine for the Airbus A330 to new heights with the introduction of the PW4170 Advantage70™ program.
PW4000-112
The PW4000 112-inch engine, an ultra-high-thrust model covering the 74,000 to 90,000 pound-thrust class, is the reliability, experience and Extended-range Twin-engine Operations (ETOPS) leader for the 777 aircraft, providing the best customer value.
PW2000
Pratt & Whitney's PW2000 engine covers the mid-thrust range from 37,000 pounds to 43,000 pounds
JT8D
Pratt & Whitney introduced the JT8D to commercial aviation in 1964 with the inaugural flight of Boeing's 727-100 aircraft.
JT9D
Pratt & Whitney's JT9D engine opened a new era in commercial aviation: the high-bypass-ratio engine to power wide-bodied aircraft.
