0 - 100kN turbojet GTF Advantage™

for general aviation

Overview
The Pratt & Whitney GTF Advantage™ engine builds on the proven performance and reliability of the GTF family to deliver higher thrust, improved fuel efficiency and lower emissions for A320neo family aircraft. The GTF Advantage configuration continues the development of the geared fan architecture to provide operators increased aircraft capability, cost and revenue potential, and enhanced environmental performance.

Key messages
Higher takeoff thrust with improved fuel burn. Cost and revenue opportunities for operators. Progress toward full SAF compatibility.

Highlights

• Designed to extend the GTF family lead as the most efficient engine option for the A320neo family.
• Provides ~4–8% more takeoff thrust compared with the current GTF configuration, enabling higher payload and longer range.
• Delivers improved fuel efficiency on A320neo missions and additional aircraft capability.
• Built on mature dispatch reliability and extensive test and in-service experience.
• Pratt & Whitney is developing compatibility with 100% synthetic aviation fuel (SAF) based on prior successful SAF testing.
• New configuration elements can be retrofitted into today's GTF engines to support increased time on wing.

Benefits for airlines

• Lower fuel consumption and operating costs.
• Higher payload and longer range open new route and revenue opportunities.
• Seamless upgrade path and full intermix/interchange capability with base model engines for flexible fleet operations.
• Advanced software features make mixed configurations transparent to flight crews.

Technical development & reliability
The GTF Advantage benefits from more than 100,000 hours of engine and rig testing across GTF programs and over ~40 million flight hours of in-service operation from the GTF fleet, supporting dependability and further capability improvements.
