 Pratt & Whitney Canada (P&WC) has been granted Transport Canada type certification for its new PW535E engine selected to power the Embraer Phenom 300 light business jet.
"This is a remarkable milestone and comes 26 months after our first run of the PW535E engine," said John Wyzykowski, Vice President, Mississauga & Turbofan Programs, P&WC. "The Phenom 300 program is progressing quickly towards aircraft certification and we are looking forward to continuing to work with Embraer to ensure first customer deliveries in the near future."
The PW535E engine blends advanced technologies with the PW535 turbofan engine family that entered service in
late 2000.
The PW535E turbofan was chosen by Embraer in May 2005 to power the Phenom 300. Rated with a maximum takeoff thrust of 3,360 lbs., the PW535E features full-authority digital engine control (FADEC) and produces increased thrust with improved fuel consumption.
