The PW617F-E Turbofan Engine
The PW600 turbofan engine family in the 900 to 3,000 pounds thrust class has proven to be a major catalyst in creating a new era of business aviation. The exciting new family of very light jets is reshaping business travel and the compact, fuel efficient, clean and very cost effective PW600 is the engine at the heart of this new generation of upstart jets. Specially designed for point-to-point travel in a new generation of very light and light jets, this innovative engine family offers outstanding performance together with Pratt & Whitney Canada's trademark dependability. Compact and lightweight, the PW600 is built with half the parts of a conventional turbofan, also making it easy and fast to maintain.
