Seamless upgrade
New and base model engines will be compatible with full intermix and interchange.
The best is getting even better
Higher thrust and less fuel. Cost and revenue opportunities for airlines.
Airlines who demand unmatched efficiency depend on GTF power for their A320neo family aircraft. We are now building upon the engine’s mature dispatch reliability, adding aircraft capability and taking these benefits to a new level.
The Pratt & Whitney GTF Advantage™ engine will extend its lead as the most efficient engine for the A320neo family. This new configuration demonstrates the long runway for growth inherent to the geared fan architecture, along with our commitment to continual investment in technology, innovation and efficiency.
Innovating for the future of flight
We continually improve engine and propulsion systems efficiency. From our revolutionary GTF engine family, to advanced hybrid-electric systems, we continue to develop technologies that make aircraft fly more efficiently.
Even more efficient
GTF engines already offer the lowest fuel consumption for single-aisle aircraft, and the GTF Advantage engine extends that lead. Compared to the current GTF engine, the GTF Advantage offers better fuel efficiency. Building upon the GTF’s successful test on 100% synthetic aviation fuel (SAF), Pratt & Whitney is working to ensure that the GTF Advantage will be compatible with future specifications for 100% SAF.
Even lower operating costs
With cost and revenue benefits from lower fuel consumption, higher payload and longer range, the GTF Advantage engine delivers additional aircraft capability. The engine will deliver 4-8% more takeoff thrust, enabling higher payload and longer range, unlocking new destinations for airlines. It also offers better fuel efficiency on the A320neo family.
Dependability built in
The GTF Advantage engine benefits from over 100,000 hours of engine and rig testing across all GTF programs, along with 40 million flight hours of in-service operation. Certain elements of the GTF Advantage configuration can be incorporated into today’s GTF engine to support increased time on wing.
Ease of airline operation
Fully interchangeable
With the same aircraft interface, new model engines can replace base model engines, and vice versa, giving airlines ultimate flexibility in their operations.
Fully intermixable
Aircraft will be able to operate one of each configuration. Advanced software will make this invisible to the pilots, delivering maximum efficiency no matter the pairing.
