Pratt & Whitney Canada PW100
Template:Short description Template:Infobox aero engine
The Pratt & Whitney Canada PW100 aircraft engine family is a series of Script error: No such module "convert". turboprops manufactured by Pratt & Whitney Canada. Pratt & Whitney Canada dominates the turboprop market with 89% of the turboprop regional airliner installed base in 2016, leading GE Aviation and Allison Engine Company.[1]
Development
The engine was first introduced as a technology demonstrator in 1977.[2] The PW100 was first tested in March 1981, made its initial flight in February 1982 on a Vickers Viscount testbed aircraft,Template:Sfn and then entered service in December 1984 on a Dash 8 regional aircraft for NorOntair.[3]
The PW150 engine was introduced on 24 April 1995, when Bombardier selected the engine for the launch of its de Havilland Dash 8-400 regional turboprop. The PW150 was a higher-power version of the PW100 series, with the low-pressure compressor changed from a single-stage centrifugal compressor to a three-stage axial compressor, and the turbine modified to have improved cooling. The power rating was increased from Script error: No such module "convert". in the PW127 to Template:Cvt in the PW150, although the engine was thermodynamically capable of Template:Cvt.[4]
At the 2021 Dubai Air Show, Pratt & Whitney Canada introduced the PW127XT (extended-time-on-wing) series. The PW127XT, which is intended to replace the PW127M variant, reduces the number of engine overhauls within 10 years to two from three. The engine maintenance interval (time-on-wing) is increased from 14,000 hours to 20,000 hours and would use three percent less fuel than the PW127M.[5] The engine series will premiere as the standard powerplant on all new ATR 42 and ATR 72 aircraft, with a launch order from Air Corsica using the PW127XT-M engine model. The PW127XT-N variant, which is designed for the ATR 72-600, has the same mechanical power rating as the PW127XT-M but has a higher thermodynamic power rating.[6]
Design
Originally called the PT7, the PW100 uses a relatively unusual three-shaft engine configuration. In the PW100, a centrifugal low-pressure (LP) impeller (except for the PW150, which uses a 3-stage axial LP compressor), driven by a single-stage LP turbine, supercharges a contra-rotating centrifugal high-pressure (HP) impeller, driven by a single-stage HP turbine. Power is delivered to the offset propeller reduction gearbox through a third shaft, connected to a two-stage free (power) turbine. The gearbox has two stages, yielding a reduction ratio between 15.4 and 17.16. The first stage uses double helical gears, followed by a second stage with straight spur gears.[7]
Variants
The last two digits of each variant model number represent the nominal power at takeoff, in hundreds of horsepower.[8]

- Proposed powerplant for the Airbus A400M.[19] Two PW150-based engines would be used to drive a single propeller.[20] The powerplant was eliminated from contention by Airbus in early June 1999, since it was short of providing the Template:Cvt required to drive the eight-bladed propeller at the time, and its specific fuel consumption (SFC) was excessive.[21]
- PW150B
