Pratt & Whitney Confident It Can Meet PW1000G Commitments
Having oversome issues with initial geared turbofan engines, the manufacturer believes it has a good plan for ramping up production.

Pratt & Whitney says it has significantly reduced the risk associated with ramping up production to meet demand from Airbus, Bombardier and Embraer for variants of the geared turbofan engine. The company said delayed entry into service for the Mitsubishi MRJ and Irkut MC-21, the experience the engine manufacturer has gained from dealing with the initial PW1000G production ramp-up, and more intense oversight of the supply chain have contributed to the effort.
