The PW500 turbofan engine family is the engine of choice for light to mid-size business jet platforms in the highly demanding fractional jet ownership market thanks to its outstanding reliability, durability, and operating economics.
Designed for light to mid-size business jet platforms and the high expectations of the fractional ownership business jet market. Impressive maintenance intervals and easy on-wing maintenance in an airline-style business operation. The PW500 engine family combines high performance and low fuel consumption with excellent operating economics.
The PW500 family is comprised of 3 engine series and 8 models, ranging from 2,900 to 4,500 pounds thrust. Success of the PW500 in the fractional ownership and general business jet markets stems from its impressive durability and reliability track record, all complemented by comprehensive maintenance cost guarantee plans.
PW500 engines continue to incorporate the latest advanced technologies to maintain their market leadership. Furthermore, the latest Full-Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC) in many of the PW500 models provides reduced pilot workload and advanced engine health monitoring/diagnostics, assuring a high standard in aircraft dispatch availability.
Operators of PW500 engines are supported by Pratt & Whitney's industry-leading global customer support. This includes over 30 Pratt & Whitney-owned and designated service facilities around the world, more than 100 field support representatives on all major continents, a 24/7 Customer First Centre for rapid expert support, the most advanced diagnostic capabilities for this market and the largest pool of Pratt & Whitney rental and exchange engines in the industry.
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.
