Pratt & Whitney Canada (P&WC) has two helicopter engine programs nearing the final stages of development and both remain on schedule.

The first to hit the market will be the 1,000-shp class PW210S for Sikorsky’s S-76D, with engine certification planned for early in the second quarter, according to P&WC spokeswoman Maria Mandato. First flight of the twin-engine S-76D took place a year ago and since then, the PW210S has passed key performance tests on the way to certification.
