GA ENGINE OVERVIEW<br />
compared to other engine OEMs. The Rotax 912 engine family is<br />
installed on 21 piston aircraft models operating in mainland <strong>China</strong>.<br />
Turboshaft engines are applied to helicopters. Safran ranked the<br />
highest due to the success of its Arriel engine family, giving a<br />
market share of 41%. Popular helicopter models include the H125<br />
and the H155. Pratt & Whitney accounted for 23% of the market<br />
share. In addition, the PW200 is the most popular engine series<br />
of Pratt & Whitney on the turboshaft market with a total of 124.<br />
It is mainly equipped on H135, AW139, and Bell 429. Although<br />
Rolls-Royce only accounted for 17% of the market, its engines are<br />
used in seven helicopter models. Amongst Rolls-Royce turboshaft<br />
engine types, there were 90 Allison 250 equipped on the Bell 407.<br />
The turbofan engine is installed on business jets. Rolls-Royce<br />
ranked the highest with a market share of 43%. Its BR700 family<br />
is equipped on long-range jets such as Gulfstream’s G550, G650<br />
and G650ER, as well as the Bombardier Global Express family.<br />
Pratt & Whitney came next, with a market share of 23%. The most<br />
representative series would be the PW300, which is equipped on<br />
the Dassault Falcon 7X.<br />
The turboprop engine is also applied to turboprop fixed-wing<br />
aircraft. Between the only two turboprop OEMs, Pratt & Whitney<br />
has achieved a landslide victory, with a market share of 94%. Its<br />
PT6A engine series is equipped with popular fixed-wing aircraft<br />
models such as the Y12, Cessna 208, and King Air series.<br />
Currently, the general aviation engine market is still dominated<br />
by foreign manufacturers. However, as Chinese OEMs such as<br />
AVIC receive increased attention from the state, it is developing<br />
aircraft and engines independently. In the future, it is expected<br />
that Chinese engine manufacturers will shine in the general<br />
aviation field.<br />
