Pratt & Whitney has completed more than 100 hours of testing on its full-scale PurePower engine core, successfully validating performance goals of its new generation of commercial jet engines and demonstrating excellent starting and operability characteristics. The PurePower family of engines is designed to power the next generation of passenger aircraft, including narrow-body jets, regional aircraft and large business jets. The results of the PurePower core testing further confirm that the first PW1000G engine to test is on target for later this summer for the Bombardier CSeries single-aisle aircraft, followed by the first engine to test for the Mitsubishi Regional Jet.
