Pratt & Whitney Canada PW300

The Pratt & Whitney Canada PW300 is a family of turbofan engines that Pratt & Whitney Canada developed specifically for business jets, in the thrust class from about 4,700 to 8,000 pounds-force (21 to 36 kilonewtons). It was developed in partnership with MTU, which is responsible for the low-pressure turbine. The first variant, the PW305A, has a single-stage fan, a four-stage axial and single-stage centrifugal high-pressure compressor, an annular combustor and a dual-channel digital engine control. Variants power the Learjet 60, Hawker 1000 and 4000, Gulfstream G200, Cessna Citation Sovereign, Dassault Falcon 2000 and 7X and the Scaled Composites White Knight Two launch aircraft. The PW307A, certified by Transport Canada in March 2005, was developed for the three-engine Falcon 7X.
