So quiet you might wonder
is this thing on?
The PurePower® Geared Turbofan™ engine is by design the quietest in its class. We reduced the
noise footprint by 75%, or as much as 20 decibels below today’s strictest standards. Where jets are concerned,
that’s practically a whisper. But the message? Loud and clear: lower noise fees, access to more airports, happier
airport neighbors, shorter flight tracks and extended curfew operation. Simply a better, quieter engine at its core.
(But you didn’t hear that from us.) Learn more about the PurePower® PW1000G engine at PurePowerEngines.com.
