Pratt & Whitney Canada’s new 1,000-shp-class PW210S turboshaft engine, which has been developed to power the Sikorsky S-76D and is on offer to other manufacturers for new-build and retrofit applications, is “on track and meeting performance.” The Montreal manufacturer told HAI Convention News that key performance tests had been “successfully completed” as it continues to optimize the engine. “We’re on target to complete all ground certification tests by the end of [March].”
Four PW210Ss are being used in development testing, including one engaged in icing certification tests, said P&WC. Another three engines have also been assigned to the development program.
