Pratt & Whitney completes first IAE V2500 SelectOne retrofit

Pratt & Whitney’s Columbus Engine Center has become the first to retrofit an International Aero Engines (IAE) V2500-A5 engine to the V2500 SelectOne engine. Benefits of the retrofit include up to an additional one percent lower fuel burn, and corresponding lower CO2 emissions, as well as noise reduction and lower overall operating costs. The V2500-A5 engine, registration V10301, which belongs to US Airways, has been in service since Feb. 16, 1998. It has more than 38,000 hours on wing with nearly 15,000 cycles.
