The engine will power the new Bombardier CSeries commercial aircraft and Mitsubishi MRJ regional jet.
Primary activities being performed in Singapore include the engine nacelle’s fan cowl doors, inlet outer barrels and thrust reverser outer cowl design and analysis. The nacelle components for the PurePower engine are produced using a resin film infusion process developed by Goodrich, which contributes to greater durability at a lighter weight than conventional production methods.
The PW1000G engine has an advanced gear system that allows the engine’s fan to operate at a slower speed than the low-pressure compressor and turbine. The combination of the gear system and all-new advanced core is expected to deliver double-digit improvements in fuel efficiency and environmental emissions and a 50 per cent reduction in noise, according to Goodrich.
