Pratt & Whitney PW812D Certified for Flight 

The Dassault Aviation extra widebody Falcon 6X has passed another milestone on its way to production after Transport Canada approved the use of the newest iteration of the Pratt & Whitney PW800 series, the high-efficiency PW812D.  Currently in flight testing, the engine program has completed more than 500 hours of flight time across 150 flights as Dassault evaluates fuel efficiency, maintainability, and performance for the installation. CEO Eric Trappier congratulated Pratt on their win, saying “Pratt & Whitney Canada’s PW812D engine is a major step forward in fuel efficiency, maintainability and performance, and will help make the 6X a truly outstanding aircraft.&rdquo
