Manufacturer and designer of aircraft engines Pratt & Whitney Canada, a business unit of United Technologies (NYSE:UTX), announced on Monday (10 march) that the company has received type certification from Transport Canada and the European Aviation Safety Agency for the company's PW127M engine, the newest member in the company's PW100 regional turboprop family.

The company said that the PW127M offers 5% more power than its predecessor, the PW127F engine. The engine is a derivative of the PW127F and PW127E engines that currently power the ATR 42-500 and ATR 72-500 regional turboprop aircraft.

The PW127M will be offered on these aircraft going forward and will also be the standard engine on the newest versions of ATR's aircraft, the ATR 42-600 and the ATR 72-600.
