United takes delivery of first A321XLR powered by Pratt & Whitney’s more durable GTF Advantage
United Airlines has received its first Airbus A321XLR equipped with Pratt & Whitney’s GTF Advantage turbofans, marking the engine’s first delivery to an airline customer. Pratt says the redesigned variant could provide up to twice the time on wing of the PW1100G after years of durability issues and engine removals.
