FARNBOROUGH AIR SHOW – Pratt & Whitney and JetBlue Airways signed a definitive agreement for PurePower PW1100G-JM engines
to power its order of 40 firm A320neo family aircraft finalizing the
MOU announced in late 2011. The agreement includes 86 PurePower engines
with a long-term PureSolutionSM maintenance service agreement.
Deliveries are scheduled to start in 2018.
The PurePower engine uses an advanced gear system allowing the engine’s
fan to operate at a different speed than the low-pressure compressor and
turbine. The combination of the gear system and an all-new advanced
core delivers double-digit improvements in fuel efficiency and
environmental emissions as well as a 50 percent reduction in noise.
