Pratt & Whitney delivers first PurePower engine to Irkut Corporation

Pratt & Whitney delivered the first PurePower PW1400G-JM engine to the podding facility at Russia’s Irkut Corporation. The PW1400G-JM engine was assembled and tested at the Pratt & Whitney West Palm Beach Engine Center located in Florida before being shipped to Irkutsk, Russia. The PW1400G-JM engine has been optimized for installation on Irkut’s MC-21 aircraft family. As the PW1400G-JM engine continues rigorous testing, engine certification is expected later this year. The PurePower engine family has completed more than 36,000 cycles of testing and 20,000 hours of testing, including 6,000 hours of flight testing.
