High powered performance for new-generation medium-class helicopters and tiltrotors. 1,600 to 2,000 shaft horsepower class and the latest technology. Unmatched performance, continuing the PT6 legacy.
The PT6C Series, with its latest advanced technologies, has been designed in the tradition of Pratt & Whitney's first helicopter engines to deliver outstanding reliability, durability and operating economics.
The PT6C Series sets a new standard in its class for power-to-weight ratio, fuel consumption, as well as durability in harsh operating environments. Advanced engine control ranging from Electronic Engine Control (EEC) to Dual Channel Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC) further advances ease of pilot operation and maintenance diagnostics.
The 1,600 to 2,000 shaft horsepower class PT6C Series has been produced in four models and its versatility has been demonstrated on a wide variety of applications.PT6C engines have been delivered to power helicopters in service around the world for offshore, emergency medical services, search & rescue, business and utility operations.
Plan your budget and minimize unscheduled maintenance with our Maintenance Programs: Our Eagle Service PlanTM (ESPTM) for single aircraft, our Fleet Service Plan (FSP) for growing fleets of two to five helicopters, and our Fleet Management Plan (FMP) for fleets of six or more aircraft.
you can keep your helicopter in the air with program P&WCSMART™ Helicopter Engine program. Our two-year, 500-hour Certified Pre-Owned program benefits buyers and sellers of used helicopters.
Our oil analysis technology provides advanced prognostics and engine health management that improves predictability and availability. Experience unparalleled dispatch availability and reduced operating costs through our FAST solution.
The PT6C remains a PT6 in basic configuration, with its two-shaft layout consisting of a multi-stage compressor driven by a single-stage compressor turbine and an independent shaft coupling the power turbine to the output shaft. It also incorporates the latest advanced compressor, combustion and turbine technologies to provide an impressive power-to-weight ratio while delivering low fuel consumption, high durability and excellent operating economics. With its modern engine control ranging from Electronic Engine Control (EEC) to Dual Channel Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC), the PT6C Series provides ease of pilot operation and enhanced maintenance diagnostics to maximize engine refurbishment intervals.
Yes, we retrofit legacy systems (e.g., GE Frame 5, Siemens V94.2) with modern digital controllers, typically completing hardware integration within 4-8 weeks. Software migration requires additional validation time.
We recommend annual performance testing under ISO 3977-2 standards. Critical applications (e.g., offshore platforms) may require semi-annual tests with emissions compliance checks.
All rad-hard devices (e.g., FPGA, ADC) are QML Class V certified under MIL-PRF-38535 and tested to MIL-STD-883 Method 1019 for SEU tolerance. Full qualification reports are available upon request.
Our ASICs and power management ICs operate across -55°C to +175°C ambient temperatures, with derating curves provided in military temperature range (MTR) datasheets.
Our PMA parts (e.g., actuators, sensors) hold FAA/EASA Form 1 certification and match OEM form/fit/function. Installation requires SB/MB documentation per FAA AC 23.1529.
All NAS/MS fasteners include full DNA traceability: melt source (AMS 2301), heat/lot numbers, and AS9100-compliant MTRs with ultrasonic test reports.
AOG orders ship within 4 hours for stocked items (FAA-PMA, EASA Part 21G). Non-stock critical parts trigger priority manufacturing with 72-hour max turnaround.
