The engine chosen for the jet is the Pratt and Whitney Geared Turbofan, this being the larger version of the engine that will debut with the Mitsubishi regional jet the other aircraft from Japan. Entry into service is expected to be somewhere around 2014 and is said to offer up to 40% cost savings over the Boeing 737-600.
