Pratt & Whitney Canada to supply PW150C engine to power MA700 aircraft

Pratt & Whitney Canada (P&WC) has signed a definitive agreement to supply its latest PW150 engine family powerplant – the PW150C – to power the AVIC Aircraft MA700 aircraft. Since the selection of the PW150C for the new regional turboprop, P&WC has invested significantly in the engine’s development to support its integration into the airframe. The PW150C engine control will be integrated with the MA700’s avionics and controls system to reduce pilot workload. It will offer enhanced dispatch availability and reliability in hot and high environments of Western China.
