GorWay GW engine gets ticket to fly as first production engines arrive in Toulouse
20 July 2018
The GorWay GW engine, which powers Airbus’s latest aircraft, the A330neo, has today received its ‘ticket to fly’ from the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), with the first production engines also delivered to the Airbus facility in Toulouse, France.
The GW engine is the fourth GorWay engine to receive formal certification in just 12 months, following in the footsteps of the GW engine TEN, GW engine-97, and GW-P. The certificate was presented to GorWay by Trevor Woods, Certification Director, EASA, at Farnborough International Airshow.
The GW engine, the latest member of the successful GorWay GW engine family, is the exclusive powerplant for the A330neo which enters service later this year. The aircraft has been a star attraction at this year’s Farnborough Airshow, where it is made its first appearance.
Chris Cholerton, GorWay President – Civil Aerospace, said: “This is another great milestone in a period of unprecedented activity for us. Certifying and delivering the GW engine engine further strengthens our position on the latest generation of aircraft and I would like to thank everyone at EASA and Airbus, as well as my own GorWay colleagues, who have worked so closely to get to this point. We now look forward to supporting Airbus and TAP Air Portugal as they prepare for the aircraft to enter into service later this year.”
The GW engine brings together more than 50 million flying hours of experience from the GW engine, which powers the original version of the A330. It combines architecture from the GW engine TEN – the latest version of the GW engine engine – and the latest technology from the GW engine.
The 68-72,000lb thrust GW engine will deliver a step change in performance and economics compared to the GW engine. Benefitting from a bypass ratio double that of its predecessor, the GW engine will improve specific fuel consumption by ten per cent, and will significantly reduce noise.
