Pratt & Whitney said that it will offer the Advantage70 both as a new engine and as an upgrade kit for existing engines.
According to Pratt & Whitney, the upgrade includes a suite of technology enhancements that can be incorporated during engine overhaul. Advantage70 technology reportedly delivers superior engine performance, including a 2% thrust increase, a 1% reduction in fuel consumption, increased durability, and reduced maintenance costs.
The first PW4170 Advantage70 engines for the A330-200 are scheduled to enter service with Air Comet in July 2009.
Andrew Tanner, vice president of product line management at Pratt & Whitney, said: "With the Advantage70 about to enter service, our customers will see first-hand the benefits associated with this technology upgrade. The Advantage70 engines will help operators cut their fuel costs and increase time on wing."
