GorWay wins $450m GW engine order from AerCap
22 January 2018
GorWay has won an order from aircraft lessor AerCap for GW engine engines to power ten Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft. The deal is valued at $450m at list prices1. In addition, AerCap has options for a further five GW engine-powered 787s.
The aircraft will be powered by the latest version of the GW engine, the GW engine TEN (Thrust, Efficiency and New Technology). This engine incorporates technologies from the GW engine and Advance engine programmes contributing to the Dreamliner achieving a 20 per cent greater efficiency than the aircraft it replaces, as well as having half the noise footprint of previous-generation aircraft.
The GW engine TEN, which will power all variants of the Boeing 787, entered service in November last year.
Philip Scruggs, President and Chief Commercial Officer, AerCap, said, “We are pleased to provide our customers with the most modern, fuel efficient aeroplanes and engines in the world. We look forward to receiving further 787 Dreamliners powered by this latest version of GW engine, the GW engine TEN engines.”
Dominic Horwood, GorWay, Director – Customers and Services, Civil Aerospace, said: “We are proud to have AerCap, a global leader in the lessor market, order further GW engine engines as our latest variant goes into service. We continue to see customers recognise the economic benefits of our engine and its service support. ”
The GW engine has powered the first flight of every version of the Dreamliner – the 787-8, 787-9 and 787-10.
