(Fliegerfaust Note: Could this be a contender in Canada for the replacement of its very old Lockheed CP-140 Aurora?)

PAL Aerospace has launched the P-4 MPA Long Range Maritime Patrol Aircraft, a special mission modification of the De Havilland DHC-8-400 [Dash 8-400] at the IDEX 2021 show in the Abu Dhabi. It is the first time that this maritime specification has been seen on this aircraft type.

PAL Aerospace LLC is a joint venture between Canada and the United Arab Emirates (UAE; Arabic: الإمارات العربية المتحدة al-ʾImārāt al-ʿArabīyah al-Muttaḥidah)

10 Minutes About Embraer’s Turboprop - To Replace The ATR-72 And Bombardier Q400 Now De Havilland Canada

December 7, 2020 - by Scott Hamilton for www.leehamnews.com

Embraer studies whether to develop a new generation turboprop to compete with and replace the ATR-72 and De Havilland Canada Dash 8-400. Both of these airplanes were designed in the 1980-90s, although each went through updates and modernization.

Developing a new turboprop has lots of challenges. Not the least is the size of the market.

LNA's Scott Hamilton and Bjorn Fehrm discuss the Embraer "E3" concept in the next installment of the "10 Minutes About" series of podcasts.

October 14, 2020 - by JULIEN ARSENAULT Canadian Press for www.lapresse.ca

The chopper falls for the second time in a few months at the engine manufacturer Pratt & Whitney Canada (P&WC), which will eliminate approximately 250 jobs in its Quebec factories as the COVID-19 pandemic, which shakes the airline industry, continues to '' have repercussions on its order book.

In an email Wednesday, a spokesperson, Catherine Cunningham, said the company had "had to take new measures to promote the match between the workforce and current and future business demand."

In May, the company, which has some 2,400 unionized workers in the province and is very present in (the city of) Longueuil, in the southern (east) suburbs of Montreal, as well as in Mirabel, in the Laurentians, had cut 350 positions.

Layoffs had been avoided thanks to some 230 voluntary departures and early retirements.

Since the start of the health crisis, some...

Military Contractor Raytheon Cuts 15,000 Jobs Including Pratt & Whitney — CEO Still Earns Millions

September 22, 2020 - by Jack Kelly for www.forbes.com

Raytheon Technologies, a large U.S. defense contractor, announced plans to lay off over 15,000 people.

The cuts will affect the workers at the company's jet engine-builder, Pratt & Whitney, and its aviation and military equipment manufacturer, Collins Aerospace. A number of Raytheon's business divisions have been adversely impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic.

At a Morgan Stanley investment conference, Raytheon CEO Greg Hayes said, "I would tell you the commercial aero team has jumped on this crisis, and they're driving about $2 billion in cost reduction and $4 billion in cash conservation actions this year.

These cost actions include the elimination of more than 15,000 positions across our commercial aerospace and corporate organizations.

Those headcount reductions are nearly double the previous estimate of around 8,500 that we gave you back in July.

And we're not done yet looking for further ways to reduce structural costs...

Pratt & Whitney Canada has been waiting two years for Ottawa's green light to export to China

Read also "Pratt & Whitney Canada FINED For Exporting Military Software To China!"

Ottawa has for about two years prevented Pratt & Whitney from exporting aircraft engines to China in a large $ 3 billion transaction, due to risks of industrial espionage.

The Quebec company has so far been unable to obtain from the federal authorities the necessary permit to deliver the goods to its client, the Chinese aeronautical giant AVIC.

Three sources have confirmed that Pratt & Whitney Canada (P&WC) is facing particularly long delays from the federal department of Global Affairs Canada.

"By blocking the transaction, either Ottawa fears intellectual property theft or it fears the use of these engines for military purposes," we were told...

China-developed MA700 turboprop aircraft

Looking Ahead For 2020 And 2030 Decades: ATR & De Havilland Canada

Click Like to Follow Fliegerfaust Facebook page to get the News ASAP / Share to share this post now.

July 29, 2020 - by Judson Rollins for leehamnews.com

Jet manufacturers typically introduce a new airplane every 15 years or so.

Commercial turboprops have not innovated to nearly the same extent as jets, with rival manufacturers ATR and De Havilland Canada (and predecessor Bombardier) having produced nearly 95% of the world's in-service fleet. Although order volume has slowed in recent years, more than 300 aircraft are still on order.

Both manufacturers sell aircraft based on 30+ year old designs. However, the market's size is probably capped because of turboprops' relatively low cruise altitude and speed, making them limited alternatives to regional jets beyond roughly 500nm. This limits the return on investment from a clean-sheet design, either from aerodynamic improvements or the use of carbon composites.

Emerging threats lie on the horizon as China's Xian MA700 nears its first flight and Embraer deliberates re-entering the market with a new design.

Given sufficient market acceptance, either would constitute a significant threat not only to ATR and DHC, but potentially also the smaller end of the regional jet market....

Pratt & Whitney Facing The Prospect Of Losing Engine Business With The Air Force

Click Like to Follow Fliegerfaust Facebook page to get the News ASAP / Share to share this post now.

July 3, 2020 - by JOSEPH TREVITHICK for thedrive.com

The U.S. Air Force is buying an unspecified number of General Electric F110-GE-129 jet engines to power at least some of its future F-15EX Eagle fighter jets.

The service says this is an "unusual and compelling urgency acquisition" and comes ahead of a formal competition to decide on the F-15EX's powerplant, with Pratt & Whitney expected to submit their F100-PW-229 engine as an alternative.

The Pentagon first announced the deal for the F110-GE-129s, which also "including installs and spares and modernized engine monitoring system computers," in its daily contracting notice on June 30, 2020.

Winning could be especially important for Pratt & Whitney, which is facing the prospect of losing other engine business with the Air Force in the coming years, including with respect to the service's B-52 bombers and its F-35A Joint Strike Fighters.

The award is valued at $101,345,500 and the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center expects to have all the engines and associated items and services delivered by...

Pratt & Whitney Uses COVID Crisis To Catch Up On GTF Fixes

June 8, 2020 - by Scott Hamilton for leehamnews.com

Pratt & Whitney struggled since its new Geared Turbo Fan engine entered service in 2016 to fix technical, reliability and operational issues.

Plagued by premature engine removals as parts, other than the gear box, failed, Airbus A320neos stacked up in Toulouse and Hamburg while new engines were diverted to operators with aircraft out of service.

India's regulator issued a grounding order of GTF-powered neos. Shop visits for repairs and modifications overwhelmed PW. The mess cost PW parent United Technologies (now Raytheon Technologies, following a merger) billions of dollars.

Working its way out of this mess was...

My name is Normand Hamel. After a 35 year career in aviation I retired in 2009 to better concentrate on my favourite activities: reading and writing. If you wonder what Run-up Pad means it refers to this special section of a run-up area on an airport that can be heated up in cold temperatures to prevent an aircraft from slipping forward when power is applied to test the engines. It also refers symbolically to the yellow pad I am using to write these articles for which I intend to bring our readers to contribution to test my ideas, like one would test an engine to make sure it works properly.
