Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6B-36

Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6B-36 is the exact turboshaft variant in the PT6B family. The official Pratt & Whitney PT6B product page lists the PT6B-36 in the 1,000 SHP thermodynamic and 900 SHP mechanical power classes, with a 6,409 rpm output shaft and approximate 32 x 19.5 x 59.2 inch height, width, and length dimensions at takeoff, sea-level standard-day static, uninstalled conditions. The typed shaft-power value below uses the 900 SHP mechanical class converted to 671.13 kW; the thermodynamic class is retained only as contextual prose because the schema has one shaft-power field. Lifecycle remains unknown because the manufacturer page establishes PT6B family production and support context without proving current production or universal in-service status for this exact PT6B-36 variant.
