Gas Turbine design and development of the core rotating components of the engine HPC and HPT
Description
Pratt & Whitney Canada is currently seeking risk sharing partners for the design, development and eventual production of a new family of Gas Turbine Engines. The new family of engines will be a 3 shaft Turboshaft arrangement used mainly at 4000 ft altitude where the ambient temperature is 74 degF. The engine configuration will be a single stage low pressure compressor (LPC) driven by a single stage low pressure axial turbine (LPT), followed by a centrifugal high pressure compressor (HPC), driven by a single stage high pressure axial turbine (HPT). The helicopter rotor will be driven through a reduction gearbox, by a single stage power turbine (PT). The contribution to the partnership will be the design and development of the core rotating components of the engine (HPC & HPT).
