PurePower PW1200G Engines Mounted on MRJ’s Flight Test Aircraft

PurePower PW1200G engines have been mounted on the very first Mitsubishi Regional Jet (MRJ) flight test aircraft at Mitsubishi Heavy Industries’ (MHI) final-assembly factory in Aichi Prefecture, Japan.

The engine mount marks a significant milestone toward MRJ’s completion.

Mitsubishi Aircraft has been engaged in mounting the Pratt & Whitney’s PurePower engines since mid-June. The installation of other equipment, the wiring work and the piping work are being carried out, fast tracking the final-assembly process for the first flight scheduled next year.
