AeroExpo UK PT6 E-Series Engine Driving Customer Service Step-Change

Pratt & Whitney has launched the PT6 E-Series General Aviation turboprop engine – the latest in its iconic PT6 engine family. The powerplant introduces a new flying and service experience, and it raises the bar in performance, control systems, data intelligence and customer service. Here’s how…

The PT6 E-Series engine is the first turboprop engine in General Aviation to offer a dual-channel integrated electronic propeller and engine control system. It powers the Pilatus PC-12 NGX, the next step in the PC-12 and PC-12 NG aircraft family, which are some of the world’s most popular and versatile single-engine turboprops…

Delivering 10% more power for quicker climb and greater speed, the PT6 E enables an enhanced flying experience with a push-button start, single-lever operation and full digital envelope protection. Pratt & Whitney achieved this by leveraging its more-than 1.5 billion hours of civil engine experience, adding advanced materials and cooling, an electronic engine control (EEC), and more.

Next-Level Engine Coverage

Just as the technology behind the PT6 E-Series engine marks a major leap forward in General Aviation, it has also allowed Pratt & Whitney to develop an improved Eagle Service Plan (ESP) that provides more value and peace of mind through reduced operating costs, leading-edge data insights and unmatched coverage, including foreign object damage (FOD) repairs, environment-induced damage, and much more.

“It is a first for the General Aviation market to offer the most extensive FOD coverage. It’s not only FOD gap coverage; it also offers coverage for the whole event, including engine removal, installation and rental,” explains Maxime Robert, Product Manager for Maintenance Programs at Pratt & Whitney.

“We developed this coverage based on feedback from our customers and engine service providers to ensure that the ESP developed for the PT6 E-Series delivers one comprehensive level of protection and an enhanced service experience for operators. “It’s a program that we can all stand behind,” says Maxime.
