Pratt & Whitney PurePower® Engine

The PurePower® engine is the only new engine architecture technology avail- able for commercial aircraft that will enter service in 2013. Pratt & Whitney has invested more than $1 billion in the patented Geared TurbofanTM technology, which will deliver:
°12-15% reduction in fuel burn at an engine level, 20-25% when installed on a next generation aircraft like the Mitsubishi Regional Jet and Bombardier CSeries
°Up to 15% reduction in CO2 emissions
°Up to 50% reduction in NOx emissions
°Up to 50% reduction in engine noise, up to 75% reduction in noise footprint
°Up to $1.5 million in cost savings per aircraft, per year

If all U.S. commercial and cargo airlines used the PurePower engine in 2008, fuel consumption would have been reduced by an estimated 2.3 billion gallons.

@fanpim Then why don't they put 2 big engines on the new 747-8 instead of four smaller engines? It has 4 x GEnx 60,000 lb thrust each, 240,000 lbs thrust total. Why don't they put 2 x GE90-115B with 120,000 lb thrust each, same 240,000 lbs of thrust total? Same amount of thrust, but half amount of engines so cheaper to service. Why don't they do that?

[fanpim]

@JundaComputersGmbH I think it'll still cost more to service 4 engines instead of 2.That's why the 777 is more appealing bcoz it only has 2 engines.

Airbus made the A320 neo which is an A320 with new more fuel efficient engines. Why did Airbus discontinue the A340 when they could have just put new more fuel efficient engines on the A340-300 and make it the A340 neo?
