Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Aero Engines (MHIAEL) has finished assembly of the first license-built Pratt & Whitney PW1200G geared turbofan at its facility in Komaki, Japan, Pratt & Whitney announced Wednesday. The PW1200G, developed by Pratt & Whitney to power the Mitsubishi MRJ90 and MRJ70 regional jets, also passed the Connecticut-based company’s production acceptance test. Established as a subsidiary of MHI in 2014 with investment from 10-percent owner Development Bank of Japan and 1-percent stakeholder IHI Corporation, MHIAEL supplements PW1200G production by Pratt & Whitney in Mirabel, Canada.
