PARIS-<\/strong> Pratt & Whitney<\/a>, a business under RTX, made an announcement today regarding United Airlines (UA)’<\/a> selection of the GTF engine to power their firm orders of 70 Airbus <\/a>A321neo and 50 A321XLR aircraft. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The delivery of the first aircraft is expected to take place this year. Further, the first photos of United A321neo in production are shared on the internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

United Airlines Selects Pratt and Whitney<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

United Airlines and Pratt & Whitney have a longstanding relationship that dates back over 90 years. They are part of United Aircraft and Transport Corporation along with Boeing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They began by flying Boeing<\/a> Model 40 aircraft equipped with a single Pratt & Whitney Wasp engine. Pratt & Whitney engines power over 250 United aircraft, including the Airbus A320ceo family with V2500\u00ae engines. Subsequently, the Boeing 777 and 767 aircraft with PW4000 engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rick Deurloo, President of Commercial Engines at Pratt & Whitney, expressed, “United and Pratt & Whitney share a celebrated history as pioneers of commercial air travel. As well as a commitment to more sustainable aviation as we look forward.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘GTF engines will enable United to get the most out of their A321neo<\/a> and A321XLR <\/a>aircraft. Further delivering the industry-leading payload, range, and environmental performance for those aircraft types,” added Mr. Deurloo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About GTF<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Pratt & Whitney GTF engine, in collaboration with Collins Aerospace nacelle and engine accessories, offers exceptional fuel efficiency. Further, significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions for the Airbus A320neo family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aircraft powered by GTF engines can achieve fuel consumption and CO2 emission reductions of 16% to 20%. Subsequently, NOx emissions reductions of up to 50%. Ultimately, noise footprint reductions of up to 75% compared to previous-generation aircraft. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The GTF engines are certified to operate using up to 50% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). They have successfully undergone tests with 100% SAF. This further makes them well-prepared to contribute to further carbon footprint reductions in line with the aviation industry’s goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The engine’s innovative, geared fan architecture serves as the foundation for even more efficient and sustainable propulsion technologies in the future. Further, including advancements like the Pratt & Whitney GTF Advantage\u2122 engine and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*The reductions mentioned are in comparison to prior-generation aircraft and are based on a 75 dB noise contour and ICAO CAEP\/6 emissions regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
