The
Pratt & Whitney PW1000G is a high-bypass
geared turbofan 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 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.
