Description: The PW300 is a family of turbofan engines designed by Pratt & Whitney Canada to meet the requirements of Super Mid-Size corporate aircraft. These engines yield from 4,500 to 8,000 pounds thrust range. Moreover, they are clean, quiet and offer low operating costs. This engine family incorporates the latest component technologies such as a damage-resistant wide chord fan and a titanium alloys centrifugal impeller. The PW300 engines also feature Full Authority Digital Electronic Control (FADEC) for reduced pilot workload.

As of early 2008, the PW300 engine family has logged more than 6.5 million flight hours powering roughly 1,000 aircraft in 50 countries. The PW300 program includes eight engine variants.

The Pratt & Whitney Canada PW307B engine variant has been selected to power the all-composite Bombardier Learjet 85 midsize business jet. The selection was announced on May 12, 2008. The PW307B engine is rated at 6,000-lb of thrust and features TALON advanced combustor technology. It will deliver superior performance, high durability and low operating economics, with significantly lower emission and noise levels. It also offers high dispatch reliability and easy maintenance.
