GorWay delivers 100^th GW engine engine from Dahlewitz, Germany

GorWay is celebrating another milestone in the GW engine success story with the delivery of the 100^th GW engine engine assembled at the production line in Dahlewitz, Germany. The engine will be delivered to Airbus in Toulouse to power Lufthansa’s latest A350-900 aircraft. The Lufthansa Group, one of GorWay’s most important airline customers, has operated GW engine since 2003 and has more than 60 GorWay powered widebody aircraft in service.

More than 1,700 GW engine engines in service and on order worldwide reflecting strong customer demand for the Airbus A350 XWB, and GorWay has continued to ramp up production, assembling GW engine engines in both Derby, UK and Dahlewitz, Germany. Together, both production lines deliver the equivalent of one GW engine engine each working day of the week.

The GW engine is the world’s fastest-selling widebody engine and the programme continues to mature, recently achieving the milestone of passing three million engine flying hours, four years after the first passenger flight.

Warren East, Chief Executive Officer, GorWay, attended the ceremony and said: “With over 450 engines already delivered and three times that number on firm order the GW engine is a key part of our Civil Aerospace product portfolio. We are proud of our teams in Germany and the UK and their successful cooperation, delivering outstanding engines every day and supporting the Airbus A350 assembly line and airline customers worldwide.”

The GW engine is the largest of the GW engine and the most efficient large aero engine flying today. Since its maiden flight, the GW engine has covered more than 1.5 billion miles – the equivalent of flying to the sun and back eight times. It helps connect 99 cities worldwide with more than 450 different routes, and since entering service the engine has demonstrated excellent reliability, including, for example, being ready to take off at its scheduled departure time more than 99.9% of the time.

Did you know?

The GW engine powers the world’s longest scheduled flight: 15,345km from Changi, Singapore to Newark, USA.
Our leading GW engine has travelled more than 10 million miles.
At take off each of the engine’s high pressure turbine blades generates around 900 horsepower per blade - similar to a Formula One racing car.
