Description: The Pratt & Whitney Canada (PWC) PW500 turbofan engine family has been developed to power corporate jets providing higher levels of reliability, durability and cost effectiveness. Moreover, PW500 offer low noise emission and low fuel consumption. This engine family delivers from 3,000 to 4,500 pounds of thrust. PW500 engines consist of an integrally bladed rotor; a common core compressor with a single centrifugal compressor; a reverse flow combustor; and thrust management governed by hydromechanical fuel control unit. An Electronic Engine Control (EEC) system is available as optional equipment.

The PW535D engine model is rated at 3,000 pounds of thrust and has been selected to power the Hawker 450XP light business jet. It features advanced technologies in the turbine and compressor areas that increase thrust and improve fuel consumption. The engine is also equipped with full-authority digital engine control (FADEC). Certification of the PW535D is targeted for 2009 with entry into service projected by 2010 on the Hawker 450XP jet. The engine will be provided with design improvements to the powerplant system to enhance maintainability and product reliability.
