The long-standing and multi-faceted contribution to business aviation made by engine maker Pratt & Whitney Canada (P&WC) is set to reach another significant milestone with the anticipated service entry of Gulfstream’s new G500 and G600 jets, which are to be powered by its 16,000-pound-thrust class PurePower PW800 turbofans. The engines have now logged more than 13,000 test hours, including more than 6,000 on P&WC’s flying test bed and on Gulfstream flight test aircraft.
