In 2008, Airbus and Pratt & Whitney begin a series of flight tests to evaluate the 'PurePower' PW1000G technology demonstrator engine on an A340 test aircraft. The engine features the patented 'Geared Turbofan' architecture, which is reported to produce less fuel burn and CO2 emissions. This overview of the four-month, 76-flight-hour campaign demonstrates Airbus' commitment to investigate new technologies that can bring environmental and economic benefits to air transport.
