    "excerpt": "Pratt & Whitney Canada unveiled the PT9 turboprop engine at NBAA-BACE 2026 in Las Vegas, a new design that the company says offers 20% lower fuel consumption and 33% more power at altitude than previous-generation engines. The PT9 has already received Transport Canada certification and gives aircraft manufacturers a new option in the roughly 2,000-shaft-horsepower class. Pratt & Whitney Canada President Satheeshkumar Kumarasingam said the company developed it in response to customer demand for an engine in that power range. The announcement marks a significant departure from the successive improvements that have sustained the PT6 for more than six decades. The PT9 introduces a new engine architecture, giving Pratt & Whitney a separate design to develop for future aircraft and propulsion technologies. Development of the PT9 took five years and involved 12 test engines, with Canadian certification granted on October 1, 2026. The program accumulated more than 14,000 development hours. Production will take place at its facility in Lethbridge, Alberta, which also serves as the company’s center for PT6 turboprop engines. Serial production of the PT9 could begin in approximately 18 months, depending on customer agreements. “The PT9 engine represents the next evolution of turboprop propulsion,” Kumarasingam said, adding its design would accommodate different aircraft types and allow...",
