For decades, Pratt & Whitney was one of the three dominant names in large commercial aircraft propulsion. Its PW4000 family powered hundreds of widebodies, including early Boeing 777s, 767s, and 747s, as well as Airbus A330s.Today, however, the competitive landscape looks dramatically different, and new-generation passenger widebody entering service are powered by either GE Aerospace or Rolls-Royce, leaving Pratt & Whitney absent from an entire generation of flagship aircraft.

Why Pratt & Whitney disappeared from new widebody aircraft, leaving GE Aerospace and Rolls-Royce to dominate the A350, 787, 777X and A330neo.
The United Kingdom's primary flag carrier, British Airways, has selected Pratt & Whitney's geared turbofan, or GTF engine to power up to 63 Airbus A320neo family aircraft, ending decades of exclusive reliance on CFM International engines for its Airbus narrowbody fleet. So in this video, we take a look at why the airline is introducing a second engine supplier for the first time on its A320neo family fleet, and what this decision says about how airlines are choosing engines in today's increasingly complex aviation market.
Setna iO has acquired a 2019-vintage Airbus A320neo airframe and two sets of Pratt & Whitney PW1100G quick engine change (QEC) components for teardown. The aircraft, which features latest-generation avionics, cockpit systems and flight control technology, will be dismantled at ecube Solutions’ facility in Castellón, Spain. The QEC packages include two integrated drive generators (IDGs), […]
