Pratt & Whitney's PW4000 94-inch fan model is the first in a family of high-thrust aircraft engines.

With
certified thrust ranging from 52,000 to 62,000 pounds, it powers the Airbus A310-300 and A300-600
aircraft and Boeing 747-400, 767-200/300 and MD-11 aircraft. For twin-engine aircraft, the PW4000 is
approved for 180-minute ETOPS (Extended-range Twin-engine Operations), giving airlines excellent
operational flexibility.

Since entering revenue service in 1987, the PW4000 has offered airlines excellent operating economics
and high reliability. Advanced, service-proven technologies, such as single-crystal superalloy materials
and its Full-Authority Digital Electronic Control (FADEC), contribute to superior fuel economy and
reliability. The engine's attractiveness is further enhanced by excellent performance retention, long on-
wing times and low maintenance costs.

Today's PW4000 meets all current and anticipated emissions and noise regulations with margin. For a
further reduction in emissions — especially NOx — TALON (Technology for Advanced Low NOx)
combustor technology is now available as an option. Derived from the 112-inch fan model, TALON has
segmented, replaceable liner panels for easy maintainability and air blast fuel nozzles for excellent fuel
atomization and mixing.

The PW4000's exceptional service experience, performance, and modern technologies make it attractive
for a future military tanker application, such as the 767. In addition to low noise and emissions, it offers
far greater fuel economy and maintainability than engines powering existing tankers.
