| PW1000G- Pure Power |
PurePower PW1000G engine with Geared Turbofan™ technology is a state of the
art gear system that separates the engine fan from the low pressure compressor and
turbine, allowing each of the modules to operate at their optimum speeds. This
enables the fan to rotate slower and while the low pressure compressor and
turbine operate at a high speed, increasing engine efficiency and delivering
significantly lower fuel consumption, emissions and noise. This increased
efficiency also translates to fewer engine stages and parts for lower weight
and reduced maintenance costs.
The PurePower PW1000G engine’s fan-drive gear
system is just one component of this next-generation engine. The PurePower
PW1000G engine also incorporates advances in aerodynamics, lightweight
materials and other major technology improvements in the high-pressure spool,
low-pressure turbine, combustor, controls, engine health monitoring and more.

The PurePower PW1000G engine with
Geared Turbofan™ technology delivers game-changing reductions in:
•
Fuel burn--The PurePower® PW1000G engine improves fuel burn — gate-to-gate
— by 16% versus today’s best engines.
•
Environmental emissions-- The PurePower® PW1000G engine cuts carbon emissions by over
3,000 metric tonnes — equal to planting over 700,000 trees — per aircraft per
year.
•
Engine noise--The PurePower® PW1000G engine slashes aircraft noise footprints
by up to 75% — a big relief to communities. At up to 20 decibels below
today’s most stringent standard, it is the quietest engine in its class.
Meaning lower noise fees, shorter flight tracks, extended curfew operation, and
quieter cabins. Good for airlines and good for passengers.
•
Operating costs--The PurePower® PW1000G engine isn’t just about delivering the
lowest fuel burn, emissions and noise — it’s about paying out uncompromised
savings and operational benefits.
