Pratt & Whitney have announced that Airbus has started development flight testing of the GTF Advantage engine on an A320neo aircraft.

The early flight test campaign will continue to mature the engine by testing it in a variety of environments, including hot and cold weather and operation from high-altitude airports, the manufacturer said.

Engine certification will continue through the first half of 2023, including flights currently underway on the Pratt & Whitney flying test bed in Mirabel, Québec, Canada.

The engine has completed more than 2,400 hours and 7,800 cycles of testing, including a successful test on 100 per cent sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
