Pratt & Whitney’s Post

Textron Aviation's Cessna Citation Ascend is making strides with the successful flight of its second prototype, following the debut of the P1 aircraft in 2023. Certification is on track for the business jet, set to enter service in 2025, boasting advanced features like Pratt & Whitney engines and Garmin avionics.

#ThisIsTextron: More than eight decades ago, a small aircraft company started in Wichita, Kansas, to do what others said could not be done — to build a monoplane that used a wing without supporting struts or braces. When the Cessna All Purpose aircraft took off August 13, 1927, the aviation world was forever changed. For much of the mid-to-late 20th century, the Cessna brand was one of the highest-volume and most diverse of general aviation aircraft in the world. Today, the Cessna brand, part of Textron Aviation, remains one of the most known private aircraft brands in the world with a wide breadth of products finding solutions for the novice to most advanced aviator.

Leonardo and Pratt & Whitney Canada achieve 1st 100% SAF flight w/ PT6C-67C-POWERED AW139 helicopter https://buff.ly/3RDtHqt Leonardo and Pratt & Whitney Canada recently announced the successful completion of the first flight for a AW139 intermediate twin helicopter, powered by PT6C-67C engines, using 100% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). Accomplished at Leonardo’s facility in Cascina Costa di Samarate (Italy) on 21 November, the 75-minute flight and ground tests evaluated engine performance with multiple power variation and other systems. The test showed an outstanding response to the new fuel with no significant differences compared to the use of Jet A1 fuel.

Once in a while I dig up one of Aviation Partners' past print ads for #WingletWednesday. This one, from 2010, is quite appropriate now given the industry wide efforts to reduce emissions, but shows we were thinking about the mission some time ago. P.S. Our winglet designs are now flying on closer to 10,000 business and commercial airplanes, including many Boeing and Dassault Falcon Jets. #ThinkWinglets #SustainableAviation #ClimbingFast

Interesting question and it might vary by aircraft, but I’m going to make a very educated guess regarding the most structurally sound part of an airplane. It’s the wing and its attachment to the fuselage — although many wings continue through the fuselage to make the wing essentially a single structure. I’ve seen pictures of airliner wings with maybe a hundred people standing on the wing. I couldn’t locate one, but here’s a picture of an older general aviation aircraft called a Bellanca Viking. This is a normal production aircraft, not designed for the high G Forces necessary for aerobatics. And this is a Cessna 210, also a normal production aircraft And to drive the point home, if you understand the concept of how a “lever” works, those people at the ends of the wings are applying a disproportionate amount of force on the wing’s attach points compared to those on the wing near the fuselage.

The aircraft industry has shown remarkable growth in Q2, with Gulfstream deliveries surging by 54% and Bombardier experiencing a notable 32% revenue increase. Moreover, Bombardier saw a 14% rise in aircraft deliveries compared to last year, with heavy jets leading the sales boost. Despite these positive trends, the industry continues to grapple with a workforce shortage. Looking ahead to Q3 and Q4, it will be intriguing to witness how this challenge impacts new aircraft manufacturing and what adjustments will be required in the future. https://lnkd.in/ezcuuTMf #aviation #businessaviation #bizav #aviationindustry #corporateaviation #avgeek #avgeeks #aerospace #aerospaceindustry #aircraftsales #privatejets #aircraft
