RTX's Pratt & Whitney Receives Transport Canada Type Certification for PW545D Engine
Engine selected to power Textron Aviation's business jet delivers improved specific fuel consumption, greater thrust and extended time between overhauls
選定爲德事隆航空公務機提供動力的發動機可提高特定油耗、更大的推力並延長大修間隔時間
LONGUEUIL, Quebec, May 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Pratt & Whitney Canada's PW545D engine is one step closer to entry into service with type certification granted May 9 by Transport Canada Civil Aviation. In May 2023, Textron Aviation announced its new Cessna Citation Ascend business jet would be powered by twin PW545D engines. Pratt & Whitney is an RTX (NYSE: RTX) business.
魁北克隆格伊，2024年5月13日 /PRNewswire/ — 加拿大普惠公司的 PW545D 發動機距離投入使用又近了一步，加拿大交通部民航局於5月9日頒發了型號認證。2023 年 5 月，德事隆航空宣佈其新款 Cessna Citation Ascend 公務機將由雙 PW545D 發動機提供動力。普惠是一家RTX（紐約證券交易所代碼：RTX）公司。
"As the latest derivative in the PW500 engine family, we look forward to the Ascend's entry into service," said Cedric Gauthier, vice president, Sales and Marketing, General Aviation, Pratt & Whitney Canada. "Certification was granted following 630 hours of engine testing, in addition to 230 hours of flight testing on the Ascend prototype test aircraft."
加拿大普惠公司通用航空銷售和營銷副總裁塞德里克·高蒂爾表示：“作爲 PW500 發動機系列的最新衍生產品，我們期待奧升德投入使用。”“經過630小時的發動機測試，以及對Ascend原型測試飛機進行了230小時的飛行測試，才獲得認證。”
The new engine incorporates an advanced mixer and efficiency improvements in the compressor and turbine sections, thereby lowering fuel burn and reducing operating temperatures. The new engine is also equipped with Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC) technology which is included with many PW500 models. This enables the Citation Ascend to integrate new auto-throttle technology that simplifies engine operation, maximizes efficiency and reduces pilot workload.
新發動機採用了先進的混合器，並在壓縮機和渦輪機部分進行了效率改進，從而降低了燃料消耗並降低了運行溫度。新發動機還配備了許多 PW500 型號都包含的全權數字發動機控制 (FADEC) 技術。這使得 Citation Ascend 能夠集成新的自動油門技術，從而簡化發動機操作，最大限度地提高效率並減少飛行員的工作量。
There are approximately 4,600 PW500 engines in service today, with more than 5,000 manufactured. The fleet has flown approximately 24.5 million hours. PW500 engines also power other aircraft in the Textron Aviation portfolio such as the Cessna Citation Bravo, Excel, XLS, XLS+, Ultra Encore and Encore+. In addition to a family of business jets, Textron Aviation also manufactures twin- and single-engine turboprops, many of which are powered by Pratt & Whitney Canada engines.
目前大約有 4,600 臺 PW500 發動機投入使用，生產了 5,000 多臺。該機隊已經飛行了大約2450萬小時。PW500 發動機還爲德事隆航空產品組合中的其他飛機提供動力，例如塞斯納Citation Bravo、Excel、XLS、XLS+、Ultra Encore和Encore+。除了公務機系列外，德事隆航空還生產雙引擎和單引擎渦輪螺旋槳飛機，其中許多渦輪螺旋槳飛機由加拿大普惠公司的發動機提供動力。
