选定为德事隆航空公务机提供动力的发动机可提高特定油耗、更大的推力并延长大修间隔时间
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 发动机距离投入使用又近了一步，加拿大交通部民航局于5月9日颁发了型号认证。2023 年 5 月，德事隆航空宣布其新款 Cessna Citation Ascend 公务机将由双 PW545D 发动机提供动力。普惠是一家RTX（纽约证券交易所代码：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销售和营销副总裁塞德里克·高蒂尔表示：“作为 PW500 发动机系列的最新衍生产品，我们期待奥升德投入使用。”“经过630小时的发动机测试，以及对Ascend原型测试飞机进行了230小时的飞行测试，才获得认证。”
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.
新发动机采用了先进的混合器，并在压缩机和涡轮机部分进行了效率改进，从而降低了燃料消耗并降低了运行温度。新发动机还配备了许多 PW500 型号都包含的全权数字发动机控制 (FADEC) 技术。这使得 Citation Ascend 能够集成新的自动油门技术，从而简化发动机操作，最大限度地提高效率并减少飞行员的工作量。
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.
目前大约有 4,600 台 PW500 发动机投入使用，生产了 5,000 多台。该机队已经飞行了大约2450万小时。PW500 发动机还为德事隆航空产品组合中的其他飞机提供动力，例如塞斯纳Citation Bravo、Excel、XLS、XLS+、Ultra Encore和Encore+。除了公务机系列外，德事隆航空还生产双引擎和单引擎涡轮螺旋桨飞机，其中许多涡轮螺旋桨飞机由加拿大普惠公司的发动机提供动力。
