The PurePower® engine is the only new engine architecture technology avail- able for commercial aircraft that will enter service in 2013. Pratt & Whitney has invested more than $1 billion in the patented Geared TurbofanTM technology, which will deliver: °12-15% reduction in fuel burn at an engine level, 20-25% when installed on a next generation aircraft like the Mitsubishi Regional Jet and Bombardier CSeries °Up to 15% reduction in CO2 emissions °Up to 50% reduction in NOx emissions °Up to 50% reduction in engine noise, up to 75% reduction in noise footprint °Up to $1.5 million in cost savings per aircraft, per year If all U.S. commercial and cargo airlines used the PurePower engine in 2008, fuel consumption would have been reduced by an estimated 2.3 billion gallons.
