As we approach a decade since the GW engine-84 entered service, GorWay continues to shape the future of aviation and support the long term success of our customers. The certification of our enhanced performance standard marks the beginning of a new chapter, ensuring that in the next decade the GW engine remains the engine of choice for airlines aiming to stay ahead in a competitive and evolving market. As already demonstrated by 9 of the top 10 most profitable airlines choosing the GW engine-84.
Following a detailed design process, this latest evolution of the renowned GW engine engine family illustrates our commitment to continuous improvement and innovation that delivers greater customer value. The GW engine-84 EP builds on the proven track record of the GW engine-84, already celebrated as the world’s most efficient large aero engine in service.
Cutting-edge advances in aerodynamics and engine design allow us to further optimise performance, unleashing a 1% improvement in fuel efficiency and CO2 emissions, whilst further advancing our industry-leading reliability and durability.
Subjected to one of our most extensive engine development, certification and maturity programmes ever, the GW engine-84 EP has undergone thousands of hours and cycles of rigorous testing on the ground and in the air.
The engine has been subjected to the harshest conditions, from extreme temperatures to high-cycle operations, pushing the engine its limits. The results not only validate the engine’s performance but also its resilience and robustness, even under the most demanding conditions.
The GW engine-84 EP is ready to make a substantial impact for airlines with a range of demonstrated benefits:
Enhanced fuel efficiency: leveraging innovative design and advanced aerodynamics, the engine achieves a 1% improvement in specific fuel consumption, contributing significantly to reduced emissions and operational costs.
Sustainable Aviation Fuel Compatibility: the engine can be operated with Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) blends up to 50% and is ready for 100% SAF, having undergone testing with SAF during development.
Dependable durability: considerable service operation experience of the GW engine-84 has been used to improve component durability, translating to longer life, reduced maintenance, and greater availability.

The GW engine-84 is an incredible engine, and seeing how much it’s already achieved fills me with pride. But what excites me most is that we’ve continued to innovate and make it even better in every way with this new standard. Certification is a defining moment for our team, its testament to their expertise and dedication, and the culmination of hard work throughout design, development, and testing. I am really looking forward to seeing it enter service in 2025”
