PW150A Powers Bombardier Regional Turboprop
Pratt & Whitney Canada delivered
the 400th PW150A turboprop engine this week to Bombardier
Aerospace, for the Q400 regional airliner.
"The delivery of our 400th PW150A for Bombardier's Q400 is a
great milestone to celebrate," said Keyvan Fard, Vice President,
Regional Airline and Helicopter Engines, P&WC. "It underscores
once again our leadership in regional airline turboprops
worldwide."
The 5,000 shp PW150A went into service on the 70- to 80-seat
Bombardier Aerospace Q400 in 2000. Built with a low parts count and
equipped with a dual-channel, full-authority digital control
(FADEC) and advanced diagnostic capabilities, the PW150A is also
designed for ease of operation and maintenance.
The PW150A turboprop engine is the latest member in P&WC's
successful PW100 family, powering aircraft in more than 100
countries with over 100 million operating hours to its credit.
"The PW100 family continues to grow in popularity as fuel
efficiency and green technologies become increasingly important,"
noted Fard. "Advances in our turboprop engine technology over the
years have helped airlines go beyond traditional turboprop markets
and secure new opportunities where these aircraft are proving to
make excellent business sense."
Operators of PW100 engines are supported by P&WC's
industry-leading global customer support. This includes over 30
P&WC-owned and designated service facilities around the world,
field support representatives on all major continents, a 24/7
Customer First Centre for rapid expert support, the most advanced
diagnostic capabilities for this market and the largest pool of
P&WC rental and exchange engines in the industry.
