Pratt Canada To Run First PW800 Demonstrator This Year

Pratt & Whitney Canada expects to assemble and ground test the first PW800 demonstrator “some time this year,” P&WC president John Saabas told AIN during Pratt & Whitney’s “Media Day” event, held last month in Hartford, Conn. The PW800, which had won a place on the now defunct Cessna Citation Columbus in 2008, lost its only application when the program was suspended in 2009. Undeterred, P&WC still sees great potential for its use on a large business jet re-engining project, if not on an all-new design.
