Vertical flight is an integral part of the aviation ecosystem. From HEMS to Oil & Gas, Search & Rescue to VIP Operations and everything in between, Pratt & Whitney Canada – celebrating 1 billion flying hours across its engine fleet – has been at the forefront of delivering Dependable Engines in support of these diverse missions for decades.

This session will provide a comprehensive look at Pratt & Whitney Canada’s versatile helicopter engine portfolio, which power some of today’s most prolific helicopter and tiltrotor applications, including the PT6 – the most prevalent and versatile in aviation, celebrating 60 years of excellence and innovation this year; and the PW200 and PW210 including the latest advanced technologies of these engine families. The session will close with a look at what lies ahead for Pratt & Whitney Canada as the world looks towards increasingly sustainable solutions.

In collaboration with the Vertical Flight Society, we welcome you to join us at our head-office in Longueil, Quebec for an engaging discussion and to celebrate a year of milestones!
