Pratt's Geared Fan news
By IAG | March 29th, 2007 | Posted in geared fan, pratt and whitney | No CommentsATW has a neat story here. Eye popping numbers too – a 12% improvement in fuel burn compared with today's narrowbody engines, a 20%-25% reduction in noise (dBs) and a 70% reduction in NOx emissions versus CAEP 2.
This is the type of next generation in engine technology that will bring forward the next 737 and A320. Wish Pratt well. They are embarking on a strategy similar in risk to what Boeing did with the 787.

Pratt & Whitney to power KC-767 Advanced Tanker
By IAG | March 14th, 2007 | Posted in kc-767, pratt and whitney, tanker, usaf | No Comments
The Pratt & Whitney PW4000- 94" engine was selected by Boeing to power the KC-767 Advanced Tanker, that will compete in the U.S. Air Force's KC-X Tanker competition. This selection represents the first military application for the PW4000 engine family. The PW4062A for the Boeing 767 delivers 62,000 pounds of thrust per engine.
This is great news for Pratt because not much is heard of the firm anymore in terms of big aero-engines. The company partners with GE on the A380 Engine Alliance powerplant.
