AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the need for an engine deck for the PT6A turboprop engine, which provides critical performance data such as thrust-specific fuel consumption and power lapse. It is noted that this information is often proprietary, making it challenging to obtain. The only official source for such data is the engine manufacturer, Pratt & Whitney Canada, which still supports the PT6A engine. To enhance the credibility of the request, it is advised to specify the exact model and the reason for needing the engine deck. This information is crucial for those involved in aircraft design.

Does anyone know where to get an engine deck for a pt6a. I know a lot of that information is proprietary but i need one nevertheless. For those of you who don't know what an engine deck is. It gives you thrust specific fuel consumption and power lapse (thrust lapse is for a turbojet and a pt6a is a turboprop) for various altitudes, mach numbers, and throttle settings. I am in Aircraft Design and this is killing me.

Thanks,
Aeroguy

If you mean the same as what we used to call "performance decks", the only official place to get them is the engine manufacturer. Pratt & Whitney Canada are still advertising the pt6a so if you have a legitimate need I would contact them directly.

NB the PWC website says there are "more than 65 models" of the engine with a wide range of power outputs, so your request will be more credible if you can be specific about what you actually want (and why you want it.)
 
Due to the constant never ending supply of "cool stuff" happening in Aerospace these days I'm creating this thread to consolidate posts every time something new comes along. Please feel free to add random information if its relevant. So to start things off here is the SpaceX Dragon launch coming up shortly, I'll be following up afterwards to see how it all goes. :smile: https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacex/
