The PW2000's technical innovation provides unparalleled performance, environmental advantages, high reliability and low maintenance costs. The engine was the first to offer Full-Authority Digital Electronic Control (FADEC), an electronic engine control. Like the PW4000 family, the PW2000 is certified to operate 180-minute ETOPS flights, giving 757 operators the ability to cross oceans and continents. The engine entered service in 1984 on the 757, accumulating more than 26 million hours of service. Today's PW2000 engines feature a number of durability enhancements to provide longer time on wing and lower maintenance costs. The improved model is known as the PW2000 RTC, for Reduced Temperature Configuration. The PW2043, with 43,000 pounds of thrust, is the latest offering in the series to power the 757 and its stretched version, the 757-300. PW2000 offers high thrust and outstanding fuel efficiency, resulting in superior payload capability and the ability to operate in high altitudes and hot climates.
