Pratt & Whitney PW1000G From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Pratt & Whitney PW1000G is a high-bypass geared engine family, currently selected as the exclusive engine for the Bombardier CSeries, Mitsubishi Regional Jet (MRJ), and Embraer's second generation E-Jets, and as an option on the PW1000G Irkut MC-21 and Airbus A320neo. The project was previously known as the Geared Turbofan (GTF), and originally the Advanced Technology Fan Integrator (ATFI). The engine is expected to deliver reductions in fuel use and ground noise when used in next-generation aircraft. The first engines are planned to begin commercial use before the end of 2015.[1]

Design

By putting a 3:1 gearbox between the fan and the low pressure spool, each spins at its optimal speed : 4,000-5,000 RPM for the fan and 12,000-15,000 RPM for the spool, the high pressure spool spinning at more than 20,000 RPM. The 30,000 hp gearbox is designed as a lifetime item with no scheduled maintenance other than changing oil.[2]

Development

Pratt & Whitney first attempted to build a geared turbofan starting around 1998, with the PW8000.[3] This essentially was an upgrade of the existing PW6000 that replaced the fan section with a gearing system and new single-stage fan.[4] After several years of development the PW8000 essentially disappeared.[5] Soon afterwards the ATFI project appeared, using a PW308 core but with a new gearbox and a single-stage fan. It had its first run on March 16, 2001.

This led to the Geared Turbofan (GTF) program, which was based around a newly designed core jointly developed with MTU Aero Engines of Germany. The German company provides the high-speed low-pressure turbine and various stages of the high-pressure compressor.

In addition to the geared turbofan, the initial designs included a variable-area fan nozzle (VAFN), which allows improvements in propulsive efficiency across a range of the flight envelope.[6] However, the VAFN has since been dropped from production designs due to high system weight.

In July 2008, the GTF was renamed PW1000G, the first in a new line of "PurePower" engines.[7] Pratt & Whitney claims the PW1000G is 10% to 15% more fuel efficient than current engines used on regional jets and single-aisle jets, as well as being up to 75% quieter.[8] [1]

The engine was tested on the Pratt & Whitney Boeing 747SP,[8] and the second phase of flight testing for the PW1000G was conducted on an Airbus A340-600. The testbed aircraft, with the engine in the number two pylon position, flew for the first time in Toulouse on October 14, 2008.[9] The PW1100G was first tested on the 747SP in 2013.[10]

Testing of the PW1524G model began in October 2010.[11] The PW1500G engine successfully achieved Transport Canada type certification on February 20, 2013.[12]

The PW1100G engine successfully achieved FAA type certification on December 19, 2014.[13]

The first flight test on one of its intended production airframes, the Bombardier CS100, was on September 16, 2013.[14] The first flight of the Airbus A320neo followed on September 25, 2014.[15]

The fourth variant of the engine, the PW1900G, first flew on November 3, 2015 from Mirabel in Canada fitted to the Boeing 747SP test aircraft.[16]

The first delivery to a commercial operator occurred on January 20, 2016.[17] The first A320neo was delivered to Lufthansa instead of Qatar Airways due to rotor bow, or thermal bowing, due to asymmetrical cooling after shut-down on the previous flight. Differences in temperature across the shaft section supporting the rotor lead to different thermal deformation of the shaft material, causing the rotor axis to bend; this results in an offset between the center of gravity of the bowed rotor and the bearing axis, causing a slight imbalance and potentially reducing the tight clearance between the rotor blade tips and the compressor wall. All production standard engines now feature a damper on the third and fourth shaft bearings to help stiffen the shaft and data from engines in service and under accelerated testing is expected to gradually reduce engine start times. According to P&W President Bob Leduc, "by the time we get to June (2016), it will be down to 200 seconds for start time and by the time we get to December (2016) we will be down to 150 seconds for start time".[18]
