13_0259 PT6A TURBOPROP_BROCHURE - Pratt & Whitney Canada

THE WORLD’S FAVOURITE
—AGAIN
Fifty years have flown by since the initial test run of the first PT6A
turboprop engine. Today, over 42,000 PT6A engines have been delivered.
More than half remain in service in 120 applications, including business,
commuter, general aviation, utility and trainer aircraft.
Year after year, the PT6A engine series remains the world’s most popular
in the 500 to 2,000 shp class. Because year after year Pratt & Whitney
Canada injects this ultra-reliable workhorse with new technology. In the
past 10 years alone, P&WC has introduced eight new PT6A models.

TURBOPROP
UNMATCHED PERFORMANCE,
UNRIVALED APPEAL
The PT6A engine’s simplicity of design, versatility and dependability
have made it one of the most enduring engines in aviation history.
Unmatched for performance and value, it’s the only small turboprop
engine family designed with optimized engine architecture, world-class
reliability, low cost of operation, and an industry-benchmark rate of one
‘event’ (in-flight shutdowns) per one million flying hours.
ONGOING INNOVATION,
CONSTANT EVOLUTION
Technological innovation is like any crop. You reap what you sow.
P&WC has put a lot into the PT6A turboprop over the years, evolving
the engine alongside customer needs. The results speak for themselves.
Compared with the original model,
today’s PT6A offers up to four
times more power, a 40% better
power-to-weight ratio and up to
20% better fuel consumption.
Nice harvest – and one you
can depend on.
