- Current production engines can deliver up to 20% increased thrust for unmanned applications
- Testing confirms capability to adapt existing commercial engines for military CCA use, reducing costs
- Digital twin modeling implementation helps reduce integration risks
- Potential performance impact when airflow to engine is interrupted or blocked in embedded configurations
Current production engines can offer up to
The engine family, originally designed for commercial aircraft applications, is known for its exceptional performance, reliability and efficiency. Building on these qualities, Pratt & Whitney has unlocked additional capability from the engine to benefit CCA applications, which favor embedded engines that offer maximum maneuverability and range.
"For unmanned applications, our commercial-off-the-shelf engines can offer an up to
A second series of tests is underway, monitoring inlet airflow and pressure variations for engines embedded within the aircraft. When airflow to the engine is interrupted or blocked, there is the potential to impact performance. These tests are pushing those limits, intentionally distorting airflow around the flight envelope to document performance and produce a reliable prediction tool for future installations.
These series of tests, conducted alongside a digital twin model, allow Pratt & Whitney to meet cost, schedule and technical requirements for CCA propulsion while reducing risk to engine integration activities.
