PW118

PW118 refers to a specific model within the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW100 family of turboprop engines. These engines are widely used in regional airliners and some utility aircraft. The PW100 series is known for its reliability, fuel efficiency, and low noise levels, making it a popular choice for short-haul operations.

The PW118, in particular, is a member of this successful engine line, offering a specific power output and performance characteristics designed for certain aircraft applications. While specific technical details vary between engine variants, the PW118 shares the core design principles of its siblings, emphasizing robust construction and ease of maintenance. These engines typically feature a two-spool, geared turbofan design, allowing the propeller to rotate at an optimal speed independently of the turbine.

The Pratt & Whitney Canada PW100 series, including the PW118, has accumulated millions of flight hours across various aircraft types such as the de Havilland Canada Dash 8, ATR 42/72, and Embraer EMB 120 Brasilia. Their widespread adoption is a testament to their proven performance and the strong support network provided by Pratt & Whitney Canada. The PW118 contributes to the overall operational efficiency and safety of the aircraft it powers.
