RTX’s Pratt & Whitney GTF Advantage™ Engine Achieves U.S. FAA Certification
EAST HARTFORD, Conn. (February 27, 2025) – Pratt & Whitney, an RTX (NYSE: RTX) business, announced that the GTF Advantage engine has achieved the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) type certification for the Airbus A320neo family. The Advantage is the latest engine from the GTF family to be certified.
“GTF engines already offer the lowest fuel consumption and CO2 emissions for single-aisle aircraft,” said Rick Deurloo, president of Commercial Engines at Pratt & Whitney. “The GTF Advantage engine extends that lead and enhances aircraft capability, providing more thrust and even more value to operators of A320neo family aircraft, especially on longer-range aircraft like the A321XLR, all with a more durable configuration. With this certification and engine deliveries on track for later this year, it’s fitting we mark these milestones in 2025, as Pratt & Whitney celebrates a century of powering the future.”
The GTF Advantage will deliver 4-8% more takeoff thrust, enabling higher payload and longer range, unlocking new destinations for airlines. It offers better fuel efficiency with lower carbon emissions. Pratt & Whitney is working to ensure that the GTF Advantage will be compatible with future specifications for 100% sustainable aviation fuel. Fully intermixable and interchangeable with today’s GTF engine model, GTF Advantage will become the production standard.
The GTF Advantage includes fully redesigned life-limited parts and technology enhancements throughout the gas path. It is fundamentally more durable, with increased airflow in the core to lower operating temperatures and a state-of-the-art hot section to increase time on wing. In the high-pressure turbine (HPT), the enhancements include an advanced airfoil design with improved coatings. The HPT and combustor also feature optimized cooling hole size, shape, and location, with improved hole drilling techniques to reduce oxidation.
“India was an early adopter of the GTF engine and operators have benefited from its best-in-class fuel efficiency and low CO2 emissions. With technological enhancements that deliver increased thrust, fuel efficiency and durability in severe operating environments, we expect the GTF Advantage to be attractive to Indian operators,” said Ashmita Sethi, president & country head, Pratt & Whitney, India.
The GTF Advantage test program incorporated extensive endurance testing to advance product maturity at entry into service. The GTF Advantage accomplished more than twice the amount of testing compared to the current GTF engine. It also benefits from over 100,000 hours of engine and rig testing across all GTF programs, along with 38 million flight hours of in-service operation. Certain elements of the GTF Advantage configuration can be incorporated into today’s GTF engine to support increased time on wing.
To date, more than 2,200 GTF-powered aircraft have been delivered to over 80 customers worldwide. GTF engines enable up to 20% better fuel efficiency and since entering service, have helped airlines save more than 2 billion gallons of fuel, equivalent to avoiding 20 million metric tons of CO2 emissions, compared to those aircraft having been powered by prior generation engines. Demand for the GTF engine remains strong, with 11,000 engine orders and commitments in total across all platforms.

Singh, Dean PGDM RM, JIMS, Rohini; Ms. Priti Singh, Assistant Manager, RBI; Mr. Simranjit Singh, RBI ; Ms. Babeeta Sharma, Senior Secretary, PHDCCI and Mr. Sanjay Ahuja, Joint Secretary, PHDCCI.

Driven by ignorance, greed, and fear, financial fraud highlights the need for awareness programs and he requested young participants to take utmost care while doing financial transactions.

ANAROCK Survey: 31percent Women Buy Homes for Investment, 69percent as End-Users
Mumbai, 27 February 2025: While women have always been the key decision-makers in the home-buying process in India, they now increasingly make independent, individual property purchases, according to the latest ANAROCK Consumer Sentiment Survey from H2 2024. A significant majority of them are end-users, though investors are not far behind.
AI-generated content may be incorrect.” With growing independence and higher disposable incomes, women are increasingly coming to the housing market as convinced investors,” says Anuj Puri, Chairman – ANAROCK Group. “Our H2 2024 survey finds the end-use-to-investment ratio for women homebuyers at 69:31 against 79:21 in the H2 2022 edition. Even more remarkable is their firm preference for housing over the other popular investment asset classes Indians gravitate to.”
For at least 70% of women survey respondents, real estate is the most preferred investment asset class, against 65% in the H2 2022 edition and 57% in the pre-Covid (H2 2019) survey. Women’s preference for stock market investment has declined to just 2% in H2 2024, from over 20% in H2 2022.
“Considering the significant decline seen in the stock market in recent months in contrast to the bull run in 2022, women have unerringly picked the winning ticket in housing,” says Puri. “The only other asset class that has seen a notable uptick on their wish list is gold, whose popularity among polled women investors has risen from 8% in the H2 2022 survey to slightly over 12% in the H2 2024 edition.”
The survey also tracks women homebuyers’ budget preferences – in the H2 2024 survey. At least 52% of women respondents preferred premium or luxury homes priced >INR 90 lakhs. In the H2 2022 survey, about 47% of women respondents picked this budget category. 33% of aspiring women homebuyers look for properties priced between INR 90 lakh and INR 1.5 Cr, while 11% prefer homes priced between INR 1.5 Cr and INR 2.5 Cr. Interestingly, at least 8% prefer to buy homes priced >INR 2.5 Cr – a strong testament to the growth of India’s women HNI contingent
Demand for newly launched properties is on the rise – over 18% of the survey’s women respondents now prefer under-construction homes, against 10% in the H2 2022 survey. Their preference for the instant gratification of ready-to-move-in homes had declined to 29% in the H2 2024 survey, from 48% in H2 2022. This is a clear indicator of a strengthening investment approach among India’s women property buyers. It also highlights that the fact that most new launches are by large and listed developers gives them the confidence to back cheaper under-construction properties with an eye on future profits.
