PRATT & WHITNEY CANADA PT6A-52 TO POWER NEW PIPER M700 FURY SINGLE-ENGINE TURBOPROP

Pratt & Whitney Canada announced its PT6A-52 engine has been selected by Piper Aircraft Inc. for the Piper M700 Fury aircraft. This is the first time the PT6A-52 engine is used to power a single-engine turboprop.

Pratt & Whitney worked closely with Piper to integrate an electronic low-oil-level indicator, the first such device on a Piper aircraft, that facilitates the pre-flight process. With the PT6A-52 as its powerplant, the new Piper M700 Fury will also offer its customers:

The versatility and proven performance of the PT6A makes it the engine of choice for demanding, high-cycle/high-power applications, in single- and twin-engine aircraft for missions and applications of all kinds. The PT6A is the only engine to achieve single engine instrument flight rules status for passenger revenue activity in North America, Australia, Europe, and New Zealand, important for owner/operators of the new M700 Fury who plan to use the aircraft to carry paying passengers.

Operators of PT6A engines are supported by Pratt & Whitney-owned and designated service facilities around the world, field support managers on six continents, a 24/7 Customer First Centre for rapid expert support, the most advanced diagnostic capabilities for this segment of the industry segment, including the Know My PT6 app, and the largest pool of Pratt & Whitney rental and exchange engines in the industry.
