P&WC Expands Oil Analysis Technology Coverage
The debris-monitoring technology, introduced earlier this year on the PW306A engine, is now offered for the PW617 and many models in the PT6A series.

Pratt & Whitney Canada (Booth 2010) has expanded the commercial rollout of its oil analysis technology, the enginemaker announced at LABACE in Brazil. Following successful customer trials that involved more than 5,000 engines, the OEM said the product, which made its debut this year at EBACE for the PW307A turbofan, will now include multiple models of the venerable PT6A. That engine series powers many single-engine turboprops. The program also covers the PW617 turbofan, which is fitted on the Embraer Phenom 100.
