The combination of the gear system and advanced core of the PurePower family of engines allows the aircraft to deliver double-digit improvements in fuel efficiency and emissions as well as a 50% noise reduction.

The new engines will also power Bombardier’s CSeries aircraft, Airbus’s A320neo aircraft, and the Irkut MC-21 narrow-body jet.
