Although the focus is on the new PW600 and PW800 series, significant developments continue with its oldest and most successful programme, the PT6, which this year marked the 40th anniversary of its first flight. This versatile engine has formed the basis of the world's most prolific turboprop and turboshaft family, with more than 36,000 delivered. Ranging from 580-2,OOOshp, it powers more than 100 applications, the latest ranging from the Bell Helicopter BA609 tiltrotor to the potential UH-1 Huey re-engining project with the PT6C-67D. Washington state-based conversion specialist Soloy is also determined to raise $2.5 million to complete certification of the twin PT6D-114A-powered Cessna Caravan Pathfinder 21. The PT6C-67 turboshaft variant has been selected to power China's 2-10 medium helicopter, set for certification in 2007. The first run of the initial PW600 family member, designated the 2,500lb-thrust PW625F, also takes place before year-end, with first flight on a flying demonstrator expected early next year. The game-change engine programme was launched in August last year as a full-scale technology effort, but boosted into development under a June 2001 agreement with Raytheon. First potential application is, however, the PW645, a version launched to compete with Williams International to power Cessna's Citation CJ3. P&WC says core PW600 technology will be scalable across a 1,000 to 2,500lb-thrust range and a parallel turboprop family. Development of the higher-thrust PW800-engine family, aimed at large business aircraft and regional airliners, is also surging ahead with further core technologies due to be run late next year. The PW800 demonstrator, dubbed the Advanced Technology Fan Integrator (AFTI) resurrects P&W's long-held ambitions to develop a geared fan and leverages technology and assistance from P&WC's sibling company, as well as long time German partner MTU. P&WC hopes to secure a launch customer by the end of next year, and says flight tests could take place within a year, following the first run of the AFTI in March. The PW800 is intended to fill the power gap between P&WC's PW300 family and the PW6000 in development for the Airbus A318. The PW308C powered the Dassault Falcon 2000EX on its maiden flight on 25 October and, only days later, Dassault chose the PW307A over Honeywell's competing FX-5 to power the Falcon 7X. P&WC has also undertaken a fleet-wide retrofit of compressor rotors in the PW306A and B turbofans powering the Fairchild Dornier 328JET and Gulfstream G100/200s after the discovery of shorter-than-expected life limits. The rapid expansion of the PW500 fleet was also marked in September by the delivery of the 1,000th engine to Cessna for a Citation Excel. The PW530A, PW535A and PW545A power the Bravo, Ultra Encore and Excel respectively, though P&WC says another business jet application is hoped for by the middle of next year. It has also completed simulated high-altitude trials with the PW545A and has secured a position on an unidentified international unmanned air vehicle. The best-selling PW200 turboshaft still dominates the new light twin helicopter market with more than 70% of orders. The PW207K variant, a 644shp growth version of the PW206C, is being produced for Kazan Helicopters Ansat light turbine twin. P&WC is also supplying a modified turboshaft variant of the PW127 turboprop to power a demonstrator for the Mi-38, a large helicopter being developed by Euromil, a joint venture of Eurocopter, Kazan and Mil Moscow. The 3,356shp derivative dubbed PW127T/S will be developed in conjunction with P&W-Rus.
