The PW4000 100-inch fan engine is the first derivative model in the PW4000 family.

Developed
specifically for Airbus Industrie's A330 twinjet, it is certified from 64,500 to 68,600 pounds of
thrust. A PW4168A thrust rating is available with a 4.5% increase in thrust for high altitude and hot
take-off conditions.

Offered as a complete propulsion system, the PW4168 features the industry's lightest weight and
most advanced nacelle. It also incorporates a number of service-proven technologies in materials,
aerodynamics and controls to enhance performance, reliability and durability. The engine was the
first in aviation history to qualify for ETOPS (Extended-range Twin-engine Operations) prior to
entering service. It is now approved for 180-minute ETOPS. And it meets all present and anticipated
noise and exhaust emissions regulations. Further significant reductions in emissions are achievable
with TALON (Technology for Advanced Low NOx) combustor technology— a second-generation
Floatwall™ combustor.

PW4000 100-inch fan engines have accumulated more than three million hours of revenue service
and are the leading engine on the A330. The engine is built to provide maximum value and its
success is reflected by its continued dominance in the A330 market.
