GTF Engine Receives FAA Certification to Power the A321XLR
Pratt & Whitney, an RTX business, announced that it has received US Federal Aviation Administration certification for the GTF engine that will power the Airbus A321XLR aircraft. The engine type certificate, granted on December 12 and applicable to the PW1100GJM engine, was updated to include the A321XLR.
Globally, 13 customers have selected GTF engines to power 217 A321XLR aircraft. To date, more than 2,100 GTFpowered aircraft have been delivered to over 80 customers worldwide. GTF engines enable up to 20 per cent better fuel efficiency compared to aircraft powered by the prior generation of engines. As a result, the GTF engine has saved operators 2 billion gallons of fuel and 20 million metric tons of CO2, since entry into service in 2016.
The GTF Advantage engine, which is on track for certification and first engine deliveries next year, will provide even more value to customers operating the A321XLR. The GTF Advantage is ideally suited for the A321XLR, further expanding new route options and enabling even better operating economics and will be fully intermixable and interchangeable with today’s model of the GTF.
