Pratt & Whitney Canada is showcasing its latest green engine technologies at Paris centered on the 10,000-pound-thrust-class PW-10X engine it is developing for business jets and regional airliners.

The company said the engine will “raise the bar on performance, economics and environmental responsiveness,” beating current ICAO emissions standards by more than 35 percent for carbon monoxide and more than 50 percent for nitrous oxide, unburned hydrocarbons and smoke emissions. A “step change” in fuel burn is also promised, while noise will be reduced to “well below Stage 4 standards.”
