Pratt & Whitney Canada PW600F

The Pratt & Whitney Canada PW600 is a family of twin-shaft turbofan engines in the take-off thrust range from 4 to 13.3 kN, which were specially developed for mini-jets . Particular attention was paid to the expandability of the series.
The first run of the demonstration engine PW625F with 11.1 kN took place on October 31, 2001.
Work on the small 4 kN variant PW610F for the Eclipse 500 began in 2002. The engine was approved by the Canadian authorities on July 27, 2006. With a fan diameter of 36.58 centimeters, the PW610F is one of the smallest turbofan engines that are produced. The single-stage fan with a large blade depth is driven by a single-stage low-pressure turbine. The patented high pressure compressor contains a diagonal (mixing) stage which is supported by a conventional centrifugal compressor and driven by a single stage high pressure turbine. A combustion chamber in the opposite flow direction, a compulsory mixer for the exhaust gas jet and a two-channel FADEC from Hispano-Suiza Canada complete the design.
The larger PW615F with 6 kN thrust has a fan diameter of 40.64 centimeters and is used in the Cessna Citation Mustang . The approval took place in December 2005. The first deliveries started in March 2006.
The most powerful engine in the series to date, the PW617F with 7.19 kN and a fan diameter of 44.7 centimeters, powers the Embraer Phenom 100 . The engine had its first run on June 29, 2006 and was approved in the 4th quarter of 2007.
